Wind-drifted snow
2100m
Wet snow
Wind slabs represent the main danger. As the day progresses only isolated gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible.
The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 2100 m. The wind slabs are mostly rather small but in some cases prone to triggering. They can still be released in particular on very steep shady slopes. They are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in all aspects.
On very steep shady slopes and in places that are protected from the wind dry snow slides are possible, but they will be mostly small.
In particular on very steep sunny slopes and on grassy slopes only isolated small to medium-sized gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible as a consequence of solar radiation.
The conditions are sometimes unfavourable for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities in steep terrain. The current avalanche situation calls for meticulous route selection.

Snowpack
>
In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded poorly with each other and the old snowpack. Artificially triggered avalanches and field observations indicate this situation. In particular wind-protected shady slopes and gullies, bowls and the base of rock walls: Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack necessitate caution. Also very steep sunny slopes as well as grassy slopes: The danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides will increase a little during the day. Especially at intermediate and high altitudes a very large amount ofsnow is lying for the time of year. In addition, snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
Tendency
Friday: The wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. Slight increase in danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
