Danger level

Avalanche Problem

Wet snow

Persistent weak layer

2200m

Moderate avalanche danger, wet snow problem all day long!

The avalanche risk is moderate. In a few places, small to medium-sized, wet loose snow and slab avalanches can be triggered by themselves or by slight additional load throughout the day from terrain that has not yet been discharged. In a few extremely steep, shaded areas above 2200 m, small to medium-sized dry slab avalanches can still be triggered.

Snowpack

During the night, the snowpack can hardly consolidate and remains isothermal and soft up to high altitudes. The soaking can reactivate old weak layers in the persistent weak layer, especially on the north side. In all aspects, the soaked snowpack can lose its stability or begin to glide on smooth ground. At low altitude and on the sunny slopes, the snow cover is developing rapidly.

Tendency

The weather will remain unsettled on Wednesday and Thursday. After that, it will become milder and more stable for a few days. The avalanche risk will hardly change.

Danger level

Avalanche Problem

Wet snow

Low avalanche danger, occasional small wet snow slides possible

The avalanche risk is low. Small wet snow slides can occur occasionally in all aspects, especially from multiple starting zones that have not yet been fully discharged. The risk of entrainment in the fall terrain outweighs the risk of burial.

Snowpack

The thin, mostly isothermal snow cover cannot consolidate overnight and is sometimes soaked further by a little rain. There is only a little snow left and the sunny slopes are mostly already snowed out.

Tendency

The weather will remain unsettled on Wednesday and Thursday. After that, it will become milder and more stable for a few days. The avalanche risk remains low.
