Danger level

1800m

Avalanche Problem

Persistent weak layer

1800m

Old snow in high altitudes still prone to triggering.

Moderate avalanche danger above 1.800 m below that low danger. The main problem still a weak old snow cover underneath fresh snowdrift deposits. Danger spots are predominately in entries and peripheral areas of extremly steep gullies and bowls in the north to east expositions. There spontaneous glidingsnow or gliding loose snow avalanches coming from extremly steep slopes are possible.

Snowpack

The snowcover is moist. It was able to settle at least on the surface due to cooling. It softens only with sufficient radiation. In higher northwest to eastern sectors older mostly settled snowdrift areas existing. In places a old snow covers which is weakened due to equilibirum metamorphosis. This combination can be prone totriggering. Exposed areas are icy and hard. In steepp areas the wet snow cover is prone to glide when it is on smooth surfaces or grass.

Tendency

On Sunday sunny mountain weather is called. The avalanche danger decreasing.

Danger level

Avalanche danger low, little snow.

Avalanche danger low. Only in some places spontaneous glidingsnow and wet loose snow avalanches coming from extremly steep slops are possible. Avoid areas below open gliding cracks. Risk of injuries is more likely than risks of falling or being buried.

Snowpack

In general the snow amount is below the average. Southern slopes and exposed areas are predominatels bare. the thin ssnow cover is settled on the surface. otherwhere it is wet. In places in northern and eastern exposed high-altitudes areas thin layers of Driftsnow which is weakened due to equilibrium metamorphosis.

Tendency

On Sunday sunny mountain weather is called. No significant changes of the avalanche danger.
