Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Gliding snow
Isolated gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are possible.
On extremely steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible from midday. They are rather small. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
In addition from midday very occasional small moist snow slides are possible. They can be released by people. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
Shady slopes: The old snowpack will be generally stable. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

Snowpack
>
Shady slopes and high altitudes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals and its surface has a crust.
Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day.
Above the tree line there are 25 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency
Sunday: As a consequence of falling temperatures, the activity of wet and gliding avalanches will gradually increase.
