The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls, and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The wind slabs remain in some cases prone to triggering. As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the natural avalanche activity will gradually increase. The avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack. Gliding avalanches can also occur.

Snowpack thickness varies depending on exposure and altitude; especially on shady slopes, eroded areas are interspersed with deposits. In many places, hard surface crusts are present, and near the ridges, there are evident cornices. Weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes. The weather conditions will give rise to gradual and thorough wetting of the snowpack.

The weather will be sunny at times.
