Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint. In some localities up to 25 cm of snow will fall from late morning above approximately 2000 m.
Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. Weak layers in the lower part of the snowpack can be released even by individual winter sport participants in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. This applies in particular on northeast, north and northwest facing slopes above the tree line. The avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. On steep shady slopes the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. The natural activity of avalanches will gradually increase.
The snowpack remains generally subject to considerable local variations. The rain will give rise to gradual moistening of the snowpack below approximately 1700 m. In some localities up to 25 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2000 m. Above approximately 2000 m northwest, north and northeast facing slopes: Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack are treacherous.
