Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer
2000m
A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Weakly bonded old snow represents the main danger.
The old wind slabs of last week can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases. They are lying on weak layers on very steep northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. The avalanches in these loacations are rather small.
In addition in places that are protected from the wind, individual small dry loose snow avalanches are possible.
The conditions are generally favourable for ski touring, freeriding and snowshoe hiking. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack
>
The small wind slabs of Thursday have bonded well with the old snowpack in particular on sunny slopes and in all altitude zones.
The new snow of Thursday is lying on a crust on sunny slopes. Wind-protected shady slopes: The upper section of the snowpack consists of faceted crystals; its surface consists of loosely bonded snow.

Tendency
The danger of slab avalanches will decrease gradually. The danger of dry loose snow avalanches will persist.
