Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow
2000m
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong northwesterly wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs will form in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on weak layers on wind-protected shady slopes. They are mostly small but prone to triggering. In addition in places that are protected from the wind, individual small dry loose snow avalanches are possible.
On wind-loaded slopes an unfavourable avalanche situation will be encountered in some localities.

Snowpack
>
In particular in the north up to 5 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the early morning above approximately 2000 m. The sometimes strong wind will transport the new snow and, in some cases, old snow as well. The new snow and wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes.
Above approximately 2000 m there are 100 to 200 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. Snow depths vary greatly at elevated altitudes, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency
Wednesday: Significant increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Gradual decrease in danger of dry avalanches on wind-loaded slopes.
