Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to south facing aspects above approximately 2600m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and northerly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed. These are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. In some places dry avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size.
Ski touring calls for careful route selection.
Wet avalanches
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be barely evident. From starting zones where no previous releases have taken place in particular on north facing slopes wet avalanches can in isolated cases reach large size. The danger will already exist in the early morning.
