In places, dry slab avalanches can still be triggered on shady slopes.
The avalanche risk is moderate above 1800 metres and low below that. Persistent weak layer is a persistent weak layer. Medium slab avalanches can be triggered on shady slopes, in particular with large additional loads. Take particular care at high altitudes in transition areas from little to much snow, for example when entering gullies and bowls.
During the daytime changes and with the sunlight, small loose snow avalanches can usually release themselves from the rocky steep terrain. At medium altitudes, individual small to medium gliding avalanches are possible on slopes with a smooth surface.
Snowpack
On shady slopes at higher altitudes, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep in the snowpack. These are usually covered by compact or crusted can form layers of snow. Early in the morning, the snowpack is usually crust-capable of bearing loads and icy. During the day, the snow softens quickly in the sun, causing it to lose its bond. Towards the ground, the snowpack is wet in the middle layers.
Tendency
Hardly any change in avalanche danger over the next few days.

Avalanche Problem
Wet snow
Danger of falling on hard frozen snow surfaces early in the morning and on shady slopes.
The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow is the main problem. During the daytime changes, small loose snow avalanches can detach themselves from the rocky steep terrain with the sun's rays. On very steep slopes with smooth ground that have not yet been discharged, individual smaller gliding avalanches are possible.
On shaded steep slopes at higher altitudes, medium-sized slab avalanches with a large additional load can also be triggered in isolated cases. This is particularly the case at transitions from a little to a lot of snow.
Snowpack
The snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes and wet towards the ground. A stable melt-freeze crust forms overnight. It softens again quickly in the sun and the snow loses its grip. On shady slopes, the snow surface remains hard and icy. Occasionally, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep in the snowpack on shady slopes at higher altitudes. However, these can hardly be triggered and are usually covered by compact or crusted can form layers of snow. On the south side and at lower altitudes, the ground is becoming increasingly paler.
