Avalanche Problem
Wet snow
1800m
The avalanche conditions are mostly favourable. Gliding avalanches and moist loose snow slides are possible in isolated cases as before.
As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist snow slides being released will increase for a while in particular on very steep sunny slopes at intermediate and high altitudes. Extremely steep grassy slopes and steep terrain that is interspersed with rocks: A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. The avalanches are rather small.
Snowpack
>
Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning.
Shady slopes: Towards its surface, the snowpack is faceted and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a resilient crust.
Above approximately 2000 m there are 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency
Tuesday: Slight increase in danger of gliding avalanches as a consequence of the moist air.
