Minor wet snow problem

The avalanche risk is low. In the afternoon hours, small spontaneous wet snow avalanches or gliding sluffs are still possible on the few sunny slopes that have not yet been discharged, and small wet snow avalanches can occasionally be triggered by a winter sports enthusiast. In addition, avalanches can occasionally still be triggered in persistent weak layers in the entrance areas of gullies and bowls on the shady slopes, but usually only with great additional load.

The snowpack is moist to wet and well set up to high altitudes. The snow surface can cool down well overnight and crust can form, but on the sunny slopes it softens again during the day. Where there was an old snowpack before the snowfall (at high altitudes on shady slopes), it still contains weak layers of large faceted crystals, especially near the ground. Low and sunny mid-altitude locations are often already snowed out.
