Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow
2300m
Wet snow
2000m
Wind slabs at high altitude. Gliding avalanches and moist snow slides as the day progresses.
The moist fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs formed during the snowfall can still be released in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2300 m. The wind slabs are mostly deep but can be released in isolated cases especially at their margins. In isolated cases the avalanches in these loacations are dangerously large. At the southern and eastern borders of Aran and at elevated altitudes the avalanche situation is more dangerous.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible as the day progresses, even medium-sized ones.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for meticulous route selection.

Snowpack
>The snowpack is largely stable. High altitudes shady places that are protected from the wind: In some places new snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. In some cases the wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with each other and the old snowpack.
Intermediate altitudes and sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day.
At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Until Friday the weather will be very mild.

Tendency
Gradual decrease in danger of dry avalanches on shady slopes. Hardly any decrease in danger of moist avalanches until the temperature drops.
