    Stability: poor · Frequency: some

Tendency

A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail. More frequent mostly small dry loose snow avalanches are to be expected. In the event of solar radiation this applies on extremely steep slopes.

Avalanche Activity

A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

As a consequence of new snow and a light to moderate wind from variable directions, mostly small wind slabs will form in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These are in some cases prone to triggering. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. In addition mostly small dry loose snow avalanches are possible. This applies on extremely steep slopes above the tree line.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The new snow will be deposited on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
