Danger level
 | treeline |
|  |
|  |
In all mountain ranges there is only a SMALL (1) avalanche danger above the treeline.
The avalanche danger is very local and concerns isolated places where the snow is deposited in the form of smaller snow slabs and pillows. Such places are mainly on the leeward sides of ridges, peaks and terrain obstacles. The release of smaller avalanches or chutes is only possible with a large additional load, and their danger lies mainly in pulling the sufferer into exposed or rocky terrain.
Snowpack
Between 5 and 10 cm of new snow fell on Friday and the following night. The overall snow cover in the mountains is below average, mostly only 10 to 40 cm of snow. Most of it is naturally above the treeline and on the leeward slopes, especially of the northern exposures. Here, smaller slabs and snow pillows of newer, blown snow can also be found, lying on top of a layer of older, frozen snow at higher altitudes. At lower and middle elevations, the new snow is on a grassy base. As a result of the previous strong winds (Friday), the snow cover is irregularly spaced - ridges are blown into the bedrock or old hard snow.
