The snowdrift accumulations of the last few days are still prone to triggering to some extent. In addition, avalanches can
be triggered in a weak layer or beneath the rain crust which formed at the end of December from place to place. Particularly
from the central Valais over the northern Ticino as far as Grisons, weak layers more deeply embedded inside the snowpack are
evident. However, no further avalanche triggerings have been registered in these layers during the last few days.
As a result of solar radiation and daytime warming, particularly on the northern flank of the Alps on very steep south-facing
slopes, gliding avalanches and loose-snow avalanches can be expected.
