Avalanche Problem
Wet snow

Moist snow slides during the day require caution.
As a consequence of the new snow moist snow slides are to be expected as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep slopes and in all aspects above approximately 1800 m. These can to an increasing extent be released by people or triggered naturally. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses. Even a small avalanche can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Backcountry tours should be started and concluded early.
Snowpack
>
5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Saturday above approximately 2000 m. The light wind has transported some snow. Over a wide area new snow is lying on a moist old snowpack. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack in all aspects.
At intermediate and high altitudes there are 20 to 50 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. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency
Tuesday: Slight decrease in danger of moist avalanches as the temperature drops.
