Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow
A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Moist snow slides during the day are unlikely to occcur.
Until the temperature falls more small moist and wet avalanches are possible. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones and on shady slopes below approximately 2200 m.
The small quantity of fresh snow and isolated small wind slabs can still be released in some cases on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m.

Snowpack
>The snowpack is largely stable.
Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to rapid moistening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones.
Shady slopes high altitudes and the high Alpine regions: The snowpack is favourably layered and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a melt-freeze crust. The small wind slabs of Sunday remain in some cases prone to triggering above approximately 2400 m.
In all regions at intermediate and high altitudes less snow than usual is lying. At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency
As a consequence of falling temperatures, the activity of moist and wet avalanches will appreciably increase. Gradual increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the precipitation.
