Wet snow

Rapid increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming.
New snow and wind slabs at intermediate and high altitudes. The wind slabs are in some cases extensive and to be assessed with care and prudence. These can in many places be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach large size in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 2000 m.
The danger of moist avalanches will already increase in the early morning. As a consequence of warming more frequent natural avalanches are to be expected from the early morning, even medium-sized ones. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on rocky sunny slopes in all altitude zones and on very steep grassy slopes below approximately 2300 m.

Snowpack
>The weather report and anticipated change in the avalanche danger are uncertain. The avalanche danger should be investigated very thoroughly in the relevant locality.
80 to 110 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Friday above approximately 2200 m. Adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects as well as at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
Backcountry touring and snowshoe hiking call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and restraint.

Tendency
Gradual decrease in avalanche danger as the temperature drops.
