Avalanches hardly possible, danger zones occur seldom.
Weak layers can trigger in transitions into gullies and bowls in very isolated cases, releases small, particularly on NW/N/NE facing slopes above 2000m, generally triggerable only by large additional loading.
Snowpack
Very little snow on the ground. Below 1600 m hardly any snow on the ground. Shady slopes above 2000m: in lower part of snowpack faceted weak layers. The snowpack is largely stable, with a crust on the surface.
Tendency
No significant change in avalanche danger levels expected
Danger level
1900m
Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer
1900m
Caution: weak layers in old snowpack can trigger in isolated cases
Avalanches can be triggered in the weak layers by one sole skier in some places, and grow to medium size. Danger zones occur mostly in transitions from shallow to deeper snow, e.g. at entry points into gullies and bowls, and on very steep shady slopes above 1900m.
Snowpack
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
The snowpack is highly diverse over small areas. Below 1600m there is little snow on the ground. Shady slopes above 1900m: inside the snowpack are faceted expansively metamorphosed weak layers. In the lower part of the snowpack there are faceted expansively metamorphosed crystals evident. Sunny slopes: snowpack largely stable, with a crust on the surface.
