Danger level

Wet snow

Naturally triggered avalanches possible in isolated cases

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. Small loose-snow and glide-snow avalanches can triggered during the daytime hours, mostly on sunny extremely steep slopes and steep slopes with deep enough snow and a smooth ground surface.

Snowpack

As a result of nocturnal cooling, a melt-freeze crust can form. Due to solar radiation it softens up during the daytime. On sunny slopes the snowpack is moist on the surface, forfeiting firmness. On shady slopes the snow is also moist on the surface. At high altitudes the loose snow is still prone to triggering. Snowdrift accumulations at high altitudes have usually consolidated well. The snowpack basis is wet in some places. On south-facing slopes the ground is becoming bare of snow.

Tendency

Wet-snow avalanches remain a risk, but avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
