Medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large natural avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
As a consequence of new snow and wind from variable directions, wind slabs formed. These can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant and reach large size in isolated cases. At elevated altitudes the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls on very steep slopes at high altitude. As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the natural activity of avalanches will increase. This applies on very steep slopes. In addition an increasing number of wet and gliding avalanches are possible, especially on very steep grassy slopes.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
Over a wide area 25 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. In some regions a lot of snow is lying. The wind was stronger than expected at times in some localities. The wind slabs are lying on soft layers.
Tendency
As a consequence of warming, the natural activity of moist and wet avalanches will increase, in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

Treeline
Small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
As a consequence of new snow and wind from variable directions, wind slabs formed. These can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. At elevated altitudes the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects on very steep slopes at high altitude. As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the natural activity of avalanches will increase. This applies on very steep slopes. In addition an increasing number of gliding avalanches and snow slides are possible. This applies in particular on very steep grassy slopes.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. In some regions the amount of snow is subject to significant local variations. The wind was stronger than expected. The wind slabs are lying on soft layers.
Tendency
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist and wet avalanches are possible.
