The freshly generated snowdrift accumulations from Friday are still prone to triggering in some places.
Furthermore, deeply embedded inside the snowpack there are weak layers evident. In the central and eastern sectors of the
northern flank of the Alps, these layers are deeply covered with fresher layers of snow in general and for that reason only
in isolated cases prone to triggering. From the southern Valais over the northern Ticino as far as Grisons, the weak layers
inside the old snowpack are particularly pronounced and the blanketing is less deep. In those places, particularly on shady
slopes, avalanches can be triggered in these layers of the old snowpack by winter sports enthusiasts. In places where the
snow is shallow and in transition zones from shallow to deep snow, avalanche prone locations are more frequent.
