Small-scale wind slab prone to triggering at the highest elevations
The avalanche risk is moderate. Wet snow is the main problem. Wet loose snow avalanches detach themselves from the extremely steep terrain. The centre of gravity of loose snow avalanches is increasingly shifting to the northern exposures and high altitudes. Wet gliding avalanches descend at medium altitudes on steep slopes with smooth ground. Wet avalanches reach medium size. Above 2200 m, fresh wind slabs can be a problem. Dry slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads on steep slopes with aspects from north to east to south as well as in gullies and bowls. Dry avalanches usually remain small and the risk of falling must be taken into account.
Snowpack
Rain and an overcast sky and sun at night ensure that the remaining snowpack continues to soak. It is increasingly losing its stratification at medium altitudes. A few centimetres of new fallen snow have fallen at high altitudes. The new fallen snow was transported by winds from the west. Fresh snowdrift accumulations prone to triggering have formed on a small scale. In places, layers of faceted crystals have been preserved deeper in the snowpack at high altitudes exposed to the north.
Tendency
The avalanche danger hardly changes.
