Danger level
Avalanche Problem
New snow
Wind-drifted snow
1800m
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.
New snow and wind slabs require caution.
The fresh wind slabs will form adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects. These can be released easily and reach medium size. In the course of the day possibly danger level 3 (considerable) will be reached at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. As a consequence of new snow and wind dry snow slides and avalanches are possible as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small.
Snowpack
>5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since the late morning in all altitude zones. 5 to 10 cm of snow will fall in the next few hours in all altitude zones. The sometimes strong wind will transport the fresh and old snow significantly. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers in all aspects. In particular in the southern and eastern borders of Aran as well as at high altitude snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The wind slabs are to be bypassed whenever possible.
Tendency
Slight decrease in avalanche danger as the snowfall eases.
