Persistent weak layer problem!

The avalanche risk is moderate at higher altitudes. Medium slab avalanches can occasionally be triggered here in steep terrain even with a small additional load. Attention should be paid to steep slopes adjacent to ridgelines, transitions from little to more snow as well as steep gullies and bowls, mainly in the northern and on-shady slopes. On sunny slopes, small spontaneous loose snow avalanches from very steep slopes are possible during daytime changes.

Snowpack

The snowpack can partially harden on the surface overnight, but then opens up and still contains thin melt-freeze crusts. Faceted crystals, some of which are floating snow, are still embedded in the snow base, fundament on the north and shady slopes at higher elevations. The recently formed wind slab binds better. The snowpack is very unevenly distributed, with little snow even at higher elevations.

Tendency

No significant change.
