Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer
2400m
Wind slab
2000m
The avalanche conditions remain wintry at high altitude.
New snow, wind slabs and old snow require caution.
Some fresh snow and in particular the mostly small wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall can be released easily or naturally in all aspects at intermediate and high altitudes. Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can still be released in some places especially on steep, little used shady slopes. Sometimes these are medium-sized and in isolated cases easily released. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls,, also at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.
All aspects as well as below approximately 2200 m: As a consequence of the new snow loose snow slides are to be expected as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small. They can occur easily or triggered naturally. Gliding avalanches can also occur.
Off-piste activities call for experience and restraint.

Snowpack
>
Some snow will fall until Monday over a wide area. The moderate wind will transport the new snow. The new snow and wind slabs will be deposited on surface hoar in some places in particular on wind-protected shady slopes and at intermediate and high altitudes. Also high altitudes in shady places that are protected from the wind: Large-grained weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack. They are prone to triggering. Snow profiles and stability tests indicate the unfavourable bonding of the snowpack in these regions.
On Monday it will be mostly sunny. Adjacent to ridgelines on east and south facing slopes the wind slabs will increase in size moderately. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to gradual moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes in particular at low and intermediate altitudes.
At intermediate altitudes there are 150 to 200 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. Snow depths vary greatly at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency
On Tuesday it will be sunny. The danger of dry avalanches will decrease gradually. The danger of moist avalanches will increase significantly during the day.
