Main danger: weak old snowpack. Slight daytime rise in wet-snow activity.

Main danger: weak old snowpack. Slight daytime rise in wet-snow activity.

Avalanche danger in the morning hours is predominantly low. Isolated danger zones occur particularly in extremely steep terrain. Small avalanche triggerings are mostly possible in releatively shallow-snow areas and in transitions from shallow to deep snow. Beware the danger of sliding and falling on hard-frozen steep slopes. During the course of the day, naturally triggered small-sized avalanches are possible on sun-basked steep slopes. Avoid zones beneath glide cracks.

Snowpack is predominantly well consolidated and stable following a night of clear skies with good outgoing radiation. Mostly a melt-freeze crust capable of bearing loads. During the course of the day the uppermost layers will soften, particularly at low altitudes and on sunny slopes. No further triggerings in older weak layers of the snowpack were registered in recent days at the Avalanche Warning Service.

Good weather for skiing and the mountains. Lots of sunshine all day long, only a few thin cloudbanks and some cumulus clouds in the afternoon. Temperature at 2000m: +1 degrees; at 3000m: -6 degrees. Light northerly to easterly winds at high altitudes.

Continuing favorable conditions, with a sliight daytime rise in danger of wet-snow avalanches
