Individual wet and gliding avalanches are possible. In very isolated cases avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach a dangerous size. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation only isolated loose snow avalanches are to be expected, especially in steep rocky terrain in all aspects. <br/> Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in extremely steep terrain at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. <br/> <br/> The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. High Alpine regions: As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from variable directions, wind slabs formed in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The conditions will bring about a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. High altitudes: The weather conditions will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in extremely steep terrain. Individual wet and gliding avalanches are possible. <br/> <br/> This is the final avalanche report for the winter 2023/24. Current information and announcements are posted on our blog. 2024-05-04T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2024-05-04T22:00:00Z 2024-05-05T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 DP10 drifting snow wet snow steady 2024-05-05T22:00:00Z 2024-05-06T22:00:00Z In the last few days wind slabs formed in high Alpine regions. They represent the main danger. Below approximately 2600 m mostly small moist loose snow slides are possible. The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 2600 m. Avalanches can reach medium size. These can in some places be released by small loads, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. <br/> As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation wet and gliding avalanches are possible as the day progresses, especially on steep slopes below approximately 2600 m in all aspects. As a consequence of southeasterly wind, wind slabs formed in the last few days in high Alpine regions. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to gradual and thorough wetting of the snowpack. As a consequence of warming loose snow avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, especially in steep rocky terrain in all aspects.
