Avalanche Problem
Wet snow
2100m
Wind slab
2300m
Wet snow represents the main danger. Fresh wind slabs also in shady places that are protected from the wind.
Below approximately 2200 m small moist snow slides and avalanches are possible. These can be released, even by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep east to south to southwest facing slopes.
The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on weak layers on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2300 m. Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" are small but can be released easily in some cases by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep terrain at high altitude and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Experience in the assessment of avalanche danger is recommended.

Snowpack
>
The wind will be strong to storm force adjacent to ridgelines. Some snow will fall from the afternoon over a wide area. The northwesterly wind will transport only a little snow. The solar radiation will give rise from early morning to increasing moistening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2200 m.
Shady slopes and above approximately 2200 m: In its middle, the snowpack is unfavourably layered.
At intermediate and high altitudes there are 60 to 120 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. On steep sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency
Saturday: Sharp increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of the rain.
