Danger level
2400m
Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer

2400m

 

Weakly bonded old snow in the high Alpine regions.
Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can be released in isolated cases also on steep, little used shady slopes. This applies at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. These can as before be released, even by small loads in isolated cases, but they will be small in most cases.
Snowpack
>
All aspects above approximately 2000 m: The upper section of the snowpack is favourably layered and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. Steep, little used shady slopes high altitudes and the high Alpine regions: The snowpack remains prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes. Stability tests and weak layers in the old snowpack indicate the existence of a weak snowack. The northerly wind will transport only a little snow.

In all regions at intermediate and high altitudes less snow than usual is lying. At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
