Weak layers in the uppermost part of the snowpack can in isolated cases be triggered by one sole skier. Such danger zones occur esp. on steep N/W/E-facing slopes above 2100m. Avalanches can in isolated cases grow to medium size. Due to solar radiation and daytime warmth, increasingly frequent wet-snow avalanches can be expected, especially on extremely steep sunny slopes, releases mostly small-sized. Acute danger of falling on hardened snowpack surfaces in steep terrain.
Snowpack
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer dp.10: springtime scenario
Along the Salzburg border some snowfall is anticipated. Inside the old snowpack on N/W/E-facing slopes there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers, esp. abov 2400m. Clear skies over far-reaching areas: the surface freeze enough so that it can bear loads. Sunshine and warmth moisten the snowpack during the daytime, esp. on very steep E/S/W-facing slopes including at high altitudes, swiftly softening the snowpack which becomes thoroughly wet at low and intermediate altitudes. Below 1700m there is hardly any snow on the ground.

Beware persistent weak layers. Rising daytime danger of moist-snow avalanches.

Inside the old snowpack on N/W/E-facing slopes there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers, esp. abov 2100m. Clear skies over far-reaching areas: due to low temperatures and low air moisture, surface crusts will form. Sunshine and warmth will moisten the snowpack during the daytime. The snowpack at low and intermediate altitudes is moist. Below 1500m there is little snow on the ground.

Danger level
Favorable avalanche situation
Quite favorable avalanche conditions prevail in general. Due to solar radiation, isolated moist avalanches can be expected during the course of the day, esp. on extremely steep sunny slopes. On hardened surfaces, acute danger of falls.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
Snowpack will consolidate as temperatures drop, a surface crust will form. The old snowpack is moist, esp. on sunny slopes at all altitudes and on shady slopes below 2100m. Below 1600m there is hardly any snow on the ground.
