Watch out for naturally triggered avalanches during the day!
The avalanche risk is generally low at first. During the daytime changes, it then increases rapidly to moderate, depending on altitude and aspect. Spontaneous small to medium, very rarely large, wet loose snow or slab avalanches from undischarged steep terrain should then be noted. Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be addressed throughout the day, particularly in shady, extreme terrain at high altitudes, especially due to large additional loads. Individual small gliding avalanches cannot be ruled out.
Snowpack
The snow surface can firmness overnight due to radiation and is then hard, crust can form and is also load-bearing. Depending on the altitude and aspect, it then softens with incoming radiation and mild temperatures. The snowpack is moist to wet on the inside. However, weak layers may still be present in the old snowpack, which is not yet moist, especially on shady slopes and at high altitudes. The snowpack can also start gliding snow on the ground.
