Avalanche Problem
Wind slab

New snow
2000m
New snow and wind slabs above approximately 2000 m.
Fresh wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on shady slopes and at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" are rather small but easily released. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 2200 m and adjacent to ridgelines.
The new snow can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. The avalanches in these loacations are only small. Small natural dry avalanches are possible in steep rocky terrain.
Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack
>
Over a wide area 10 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the afternoon above approximately 1800 m. The northwesterly wind will transport the new snow and, in some cases, old snow as well. Fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack above approximately 2200 m. Shady slopes: The upper section of the snowpack is weak and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a strong crust.
Above the tree line there are 10 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency
Tuesday: Rapid decrease in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the ceasing of precipitation.
