Slab avalanches can be triggered by large additional loading and grow to medium size. Danger zones occur in steep ridgeline terrain, behind sharp drops in the landscape, in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. In very steep terrain, wet-snow slides and avalanches are possible due to solar radiation and daytime warming. On steep grass-covered slopes, gliding snow activity is gradually increasing.

The fresh snow and drifts from recent days have been able to settle somewhat and increasingly consolidate. Also the latest snowdrift accumulations have stabilized. The old snowpack is generally well consolidated and compact.

The morning hours will be heavily and thickly clouded, intermittent light rainfall is expected particularly in northern regions. Above 1600-1900m, snow snowfall. In the afternoon clouds will disperse, it will turn increasingly sunny. Temperature at 2000m: from -2 to +4 degrees; at 3000m: -6 to -2 degrees. Brisk northwesterly winds at high altitude, blowing at moderate strength in the afternoon.

Starting on Easter Weekend, danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase during the course of the day through ongoing rise in temperatures.
