Highlights

Especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and on wind-loaded slopes small and medium-sized slab avalanches are possible. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist loose snow avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on steep south facing slopes at low and intermediate altitudes.

Avalanche Activity

Especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and on wind-loaded slopes small and medium-sized slab avalanches are possible. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist loose snow avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on steep south facing slopes at low and intermediate altitudes.

Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on wind-loaded slopes.

Tendency

As a consequence of mild temperatures the snowpack will consolidate.
