Pay attention to wet snow and persistent weak layer problems
The avalanche risk is moderate above around 1500 metres and low below. Small, wet loose snow avalanches can still detach themselves from undischarged areas in rocky and rugged terrain as well as on very steep forest slopes, but many areas are already discharged. On snowy steep slopes with a smooth surface (e.g. long grass or foliage cover), small gliding avalanches are also possible. In a few places in the terrain, small to medium-sized slab avalanches can also be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts. Avalanche prone locations for dry slab avalanches are most likely to be found on shady steep slopes above the tree line, wet slab avalanches are still conceivable in isolated cases in the extended eastern and western exposures. In exposed locations, the snow surface is hard and icy in places and there is a risk of falling.
Snowpack
With the clouds at night, the snow surface can hardly cool down and is already soft and not load-bearing in the morning. Depending on the aspect, the snowpack is damp or wet up to high altitudes. On steep grassy slopes and forest embankments with large snow reserves, the entire snowpack can start to glide snow. At shady high altitudes, there are prone to triggering weak layers in the transition to the hardness of the old snowpack. This is unfavourably structured and weakened in places with embedded crusts and faceted crystals.
Tendency
A mixture of sun and clouds at the start of the week. No significant change in the avalanche risk.

Little snow, the snow is falling
The avalanche risk is low. Small, wet loose snow avalanches cannot be completely ruled out from areas in very steep terrain that have not yet been discharged (e.g. forest embankments), but many areas have already been discharged. In high areas on shady slopes, the triggering of small to medium-sized, dry slab avalanches by winter sports enthusiasts is still possible in isolated cases, in particular at the entrances to steep gullies and bowls.
Snowpack
With the clouds at night, the snowpack can hardly consolidate and is already soft and not capable of bearing loads in the morning. Depending on the aspect, the snowpack is damp or wet up to high altitudes. At shady high altitudes, the old snowpack with crusts and embedded angular crystals is unfavourably structured and weakened in places.
