In few places, avalanches can trigger in the old snow. Circumvent snowdrift accumulations.
Avalanche danger above 2000m is moderate, below that altitude danger is low. In few places, an avalanche can be triggered by large additional loading as a slab avalanche. Danger zones are mostly small, occur in all aspects, hard to recognize even for the practiced eye. Fresh and older drifts on some NW/SE facing ridgeline slopes can be easily triggered as a small slab by minimum additional loading, these are easy to recognize, releases remain small-sized. On extemely steep slopes small loose-snow avalanches are possible. Isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
Atop a hardened crust (or else, bare ground) 10-30 cm of loosely-packed snow lie deposited, often wind impacted. On shady slopes at high altitudes the fresh snow from Friday has also been deposited atop loose snow or surface hoar. The fundament on steep shady slopes at high altitudes is expansively metamorphosed. Atop a hardened crust (or else, bare ground) 10-30 cm of loosely-packed snow lie deposited, often wind impacted. On shady slopes at high altitudes the fresh snow from Friday has also been deposited atop loose snow or surface hoar. The fundament on steep shady slopes at high altitudes is expansively metamorphosed. Also to be found on sunny slopes. On sunny slopes the snow is sticky or has a melt-freeze crust in the early morning hours.
Tendency
No significant change in danger levels anticipated. Zero-degree level rising to about 2000m. Slightly more frequent naturally triggered loose-snow avalanches.
Avalanche danger is low. Triggering a small slab is possible in only few places, most endangered are shady slopes in very steep terrain above 2000m. Small-sized danger zones occur on very steep NW/SE facing slopes above 2200m and are easy to recognize for the practiced eye. Here, avalanches can often be triggered by minimum additional loading but the releases remain small. In isolated cases a small glide-snow avalanche is possible. Isolated small naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches possible.
Snowpack
This snowdrift accumulations cover weak layers and surface hoar on shady or loose snow. In addition, on sunny slopes kantige Schichten im Bereich von oberflächennahen Krusten gebildet. Dort wo ein Schneebrett darüber besteht, sind diese störanfällig. Rein sonnseitig ist der Schnee oberflächlich angestochen bzw. trägt morgens eine dünne Schmelzkruste.
Tendency
Zero-degree level rising to about 2000m. Slightly more frequent naturally triggered loose-snow avalanches.
