Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow
2200m
New snow
2000m
New snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.
As a consequence of new snow and a light to moderate northwesterly wind, small wind slabs will form from the middle of the day adjacent to ridgelines on east, southeast and south facing slopes. The new snow and wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant above approximately 2200 m.
Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack
>Some snow will fall from early morning over a wide area. Shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines: The snowpack is favourably layered and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a crust that is barely capable of bearing a load.
Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling here.
At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency
Gradual increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
