Attention: gliding snow. Otherwise favourable conditions.

Danger of small, in isolated cases where snowfall has been heavy medium-sized glide-snow avalanches on steep grass-covered slopes or rocky plates still prevails. Caution urged below glide cracks. Othewise low avalanche danger. Small, wet loose-snow avalanches are possible in extremely steep terrain. Isolated avalanche triggerings by winter sports enthusiasts possible in extremely steep shady terrain. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate consideration.

Snowpack

The below average snowpack is all-in-all well consolidated. The surfaces are highly varied: on high-altitude shady slopes there is still powder, elsewhere often breakable crusts, sometimes wind crusts are capable of bearing loads. Due to multi-layered cloudbanks, nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation is reduced, the snow cannot really consolidate. Over recent days, increasingly frequent glide cracks and glide-snow avalanches have been reported. Due to lower temperatures the gliding snow activity will slowly decrease.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels will increase slightly due to fresh snowfall and winds

Favorable conditions

Avalanche danger is low. Danger from mostly small glide-snow avalanches on steep grass-covered slopes or rocky places still prevails. Caution urged below glide cracks. Small, wet loose-snow avalanches are possible in extremely steep terrain.
