Avalanche Problem
Wind slab
2000m
Fresh wind slabs as the day progresses.
As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind from variable directions, mostly small wind slabs will form in the course of the day in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on a crust in all aspects. They are mostly shallow but can in some cases be released easily. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Even a small avalanche can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Off-piste activities call for meticulous route selection.
Snowpack
>
Numerous medium-sized to large moist slab avalanches have been released as a consequence of the rain. Tuesday: Hardly any moist avalanches are possible as the temperature drops. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will hardly soften at all. The sometimes strong wind will transport the new snow significantly. Some fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs will become increasingly prone to triggering and generally above the tree line.
At intermediate and high altitudes there are 30 to 60 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. In all regions less snow than usual is lying. On steep sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes no snow is lying.

Tendency
Wednesday: Gradual decrease in danger of dry avalanches as the snowfall eases. Significant increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
