Stability: poor · Frequency: few
Weakly bonded old snow represents the main danger.
Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.
Some snow will fall. The old snowpack is faceted and weak.
The weather report and anticipated change in the avalanche danger are uncertain.
