Old snow
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2200m.
Danger description
The fresh snow of the last few days and in particular the wind slabs formed during the snowfall are in some cases still prone to triggering. Snow sport participants can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones. In isolated cases avalanches can release the weakly bonded old snow as well. This applies in particular on very steep north facing slopes in little used backcountry terrain.
Ski touring calls for careful route selection.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation wet avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses. Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be concluded timely.
