New snow
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 3000m.
Danger description
The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days are prone to triggering, in particular in high Alpine regions. Dry avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. In isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation a large number of moist snow slides and avalanches are to be expected. They can in some cases release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size, in particular on steep north and east facing slopes.
