Naturally triggered avalanches are still possible from steep terrain that has not been unloaded!
The avalanche risk is generally low at first. Depending on altitude and aspect, it increases rapidly to moderate during the day. Spontaneous small to medium, very rarely large, wet loose snow or slab avalanches from steep, undischarged terrain should be noted. In particular in shady, extreme terrain at high altitudes, weak layers in the old snowpack can still be triggered throughout the day due to large additional loads. Usually only small gliding avalanches cannot be completely ruled out.
Snowpack
The snow surface can firmness overnight due to radiation and is hard, crust can form and is also load-bearing. Depending on the altitude and aspect, it then softens at different rates with the incoming radiation and mild temperatures. The snowpack is moist to wet on the inside. However, especially on shady slopes and at high altitudes, there may still be weak layers in the old snowpack, which is not yet moist. The snowpack can also start gliding snow on the ground.
Tendency
On Friday, there may be some fresh wind slab at exposed high altitudes. The avalanche danger will decrease depending on the time of day.
