Avalanche Problem
Wet snow

New snow

2300m

 

Natural wet avalanches require caution. New snow towards the evening.
All aspects: As the penetration by moisture increases more natural wet avalanches are to be expected at any time, even large ones in isolated cases.

Towards the evening as a consequence of the snowfall there will be a gradual increase in the danger of dry avalanches.

The current avalanche situation calls for restraint. The backcountry touring conditions remain unfavourable.
Snowpack
>
All aspects as well as high altitudes: The snowpack will be gradually moist. Evening and night: Up to high altitudes rain will fall in some localities. Sunday: The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little. As the penetration by moisture increases the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses.

At intermediate and high altitudes there is still a very large amount of snow. At high altitude snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
Tendency
Some snow will fall until Monday. As the temperature drops there will be a gradual decrease in the danger of moist avalanches. As a consequence of new snow and wind there will be a significant increase in the danger of dry avalanches.
