Avalanche danger is low. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, increasingly frequent moist slides and small wet snow avalanches are possible. On steep grass-covered slopes with sufficient snow or a smooth undersurface, increasingly frequent small glide-snow avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
The below-average old snowpack is well consolidated all in all and mostly stable. On shady slopes the uppermost crusts are often still powdery. Overnight a melt-freeze crust forms on sunny slopes and at lower altitudes. Due to rising temperatures and solar radiation, the snowpack gradually moistens further, as it becomes wet it also becomes weak.
Tendency
Springtime conditions continue, with slight daytime rise in avalanche danger levels
Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow
In the morning hours favorable conditions. Caution: daytime warming.
Predominantly favorable conditions prevail, with low avalanche danger. Isolated danger zones occur at high altitudes esp. on shady ridgeline steep slopes, they can trigger small slab avalanches in 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. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, moist slides are increasingly possible.
Snowpack
Fresh snow and drifts of recent days have bonded well with the old snowpack by and large. Above 2300m on shady slopes, isolated near-surface weak layers are evident, prone to triggering. On shady slopes, uppermost layers are often still powdery. At night on sunny slopes and at lower altitudes, a melt-freeze crust forms, which then softens up during the daytime. The below-average old snowpack is well consolidated all in all. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, the snowpack is moistening down to intermediate altitudes, and as it becomes wetter, it becomes weaker.
Tendency
Springtime conditions are continuing, with slight daytime rise in avalanche danger levels
