Avalanche Problem
Wet snow
2300m
Wind slab
2300m
Wet snow represents the main danger. Fresh wind slabs also in shady places that are protected from the wind.
Below approximately 2300 m small moist snow slides and avalanches are possible. These can be released, even by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes of all aspects. Isolated small and medium-sized moist slab avalanches are possible in particular on steep shady slopes.
The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on weak layers on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2300 m. Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" are small but can be released easily in some cases by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep terrain at high altitude and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Experience and restraint are recommended.

Snowpack
>
Some snow will fall until late in the night over a wide area. The southerly wind will transport only a little snow. The high humditiy will give rise as the day progresses to rapid moistening of the snowpack in all aspects below approximately 2300 m.
Shady slopes and above approximately 2200 m: In its middle, the snowpack is unfavourably layered.
At intermediate and high altitudes there are 60 to 120 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. On steep sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency
Slight increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of the rain.
