Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow
Moist snow slides during the day require caution.
On very steep slopes moist snow slides are possible as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small. These can in some places be released by people or triggered naturally. As a consequence of the rain the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase in the afternoon. Even a small avalanche can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Backcountry tours should be concluded early.
Snowpack
>
The new snow of the weekend is lying on top of a favourable old snowpack on shady slopes above approximately 2300 m. 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. Some rain will fall in the afternoon in some localities.
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.
