Danger level

Avalanche Problem
Gliding snow

 

Gliding avalanches are possible in isolated cases as before.
On very steep grassy slopes individual gliding avalanches are possible as the day progresses, even medium-sized ones.

Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
Steep slopes: There is a danger of falling on the icy crust.
Snowpack
>
Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day.
Shady slopes: The upper section of the snowpack is hard and its surface has a crust. Towards its base, the snowpack is dry.

At intermediate altitudes there are 40 to 80 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. On steep sunny slopes at low altitude hardly any snow is lying.
Tendency
Friday: The weather will be cloudy. In some regions 2 to 5 cm of snow will fall until Saturday above approximately 2000 m.
