Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer
2200m
Gliding snow
The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.
Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate defensive route selection.
The fresh and older wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on very steep east, north and west facing slopes at intermediate and high altitudes. They are sometimes deep and in some cases prone to triggering. Weak layers deep in the old snowpack can be released in some places by people in particular on little-used, rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes. In many cases the dry avalanches are medium-sized.
On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on shady slopes below approximately 2400 m and on sunny slopes above approximately 2000 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.

Snowpack
>
Shady slopes, areas where the snow cover is rather shallow: Large-grained weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack.
Saturday: 2 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1800 m. Sunday: The weather will be very cloudy over a wide area. Some snow will fall.
At intermediate altitudes there are 50 to 100 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
