Moderate avalanche danger due to old snow problem in the high altitudes! Spontaneous wet and sliding snow avalanches on the sunny side.
The avalanche danger is moderate above around 1900 metres and low below. The danger comes from old accumulations of drift snow, which often lie on a weak layer in the old snow in shady areas at high altitudes. The north to south-east exposures are particularly affected, as are areas behind terrain edges and entrances to gullies, hollows and steep slopes. Slab avalanches can be triggered particularly in transition areas from little to a lot of snow, sometimes even at low additional loads, and can reach medium size. On the sunny side, more spontaneous, smaller wet and sliding snow avalanches are to be expected.
Snowpack
While summits, ridges and ridges are blown off and often icy or frozen, hollows such as gullies and hollows and areas behind terrain edges are filled with old drift snow. At shady high altitudes, these are sometimes located on angular crystals in the old snow, which are increasingly being considered as a weak layer. Above ground, large areas of surface frost have formed, especially in basin locations, but this only remains in shady areas. On the sunny side, the snow cover becomes wet or firny during the day. On smooth ground, the snow cover begins to slide on the sunny side.
Tendency
High pressure will continue to dominate the weather until Wednesday and the avalanche risk will hardly change.
