Predominantly low avalanche danger - only a few avalanche prone locations!

Predominantly low avalanche danger - only a few avalanche prone locations!

The avalanche risk is predominantly classified as low. At higher altitudes in very to extremely steep terrain, slab avalanches of up to medium size can be triggered by additional load in a few places in the terrain. Avalanche prone locations are mainly in areas adjacent to the ridgeline and in steep, filled-in bowls and gullies. Spontaneous loose snow or wet snow avalanches are rarely possible from steep, undischarged slopes at low and sometimes medium altitudes where there is a sufficiently thick snow cover, snowpack.

The snow cover, snowpack has continued to settle. Locally, there may still be weak layers in the old snowpack and the snow base, fundament is weakened by crystalline forms that have been transformed by building up. Depending on the hardness and aspect, the snow surface varies in hardness, sometimes crust can form and can soften somewhat, especially on sunny slopes. With the mild temperatures, the snow cover, snowpack in the low and partly medium altitudes varies from moist to wet depending on altitude and aspect.

There will be good visibility on the mountains on Friday, although some high clouds will cloud the sunshine. There will be no precipitation and hardly any wind. At 1500 m around 4 degrees, at 2000 m around 2 degrees. On Saturday, the sun will shine almost all day in the mountains. Weak to moderate winds from east to south. In 1500 m around 6 degrees, in 2000 m around 4 degrees.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
