Highlights

Weakly bonded old snow and wet snow represent the main danger. Medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large moist and wet avalanches are possible above approximately 2200 m.

Avalanche Activity

Weakly bonded old snow and wet snow represent the main danger. Medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large moist and wet avalanches are possible above approximately 2200 m.

Especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes and below approximately 2800 m more medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large moist and wet avalanches are to be expected as the penetration by moisture increases. Wet avalanches can as before be released by a single winter sport participant. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day there will be a rapid increase in the danger of wet avalanches. Individual gliding avalanches can also occur, caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep grassy slopes in the regions with a lot of snow.

Snowpack Structure

Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to significant moistening of the old snowpack over a wide area. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.
