Avalanche danger in high alpine regions is moderate

The problem is the weak layers in the snowpack, which are deeper in the snowpack. If the load exceeds the load-bearing capacity of the deeper Weak layers, a deep and large avalanche can be triggered. There are many such weak layers, especially on axis above the forest. During the day, mainly small Wet snow avalanches are possible on sunny slopes.

Snowpack

dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
dp.10: springtime scenario

The snowpack freezes at night, but becomes harder during the day, especially on Sunny slopes. As the snow warms up, it undergoes a more intense transformation on sunny slopes, which is less pronounced on the axis. In the old snow cover, several weak layers of shreds and coarse grains appear deep below the surface.

Tendency

It will clear up on Tuesday. Faster in the high alpine regions than in the mid mountains. There will be no major warming. The danger of avalanches will remain similar.
