Old snow
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200m.
Danger description
The near-surface layers of the snowpack can be released in some places by winter sport participants. Avalanches can reach medium size. In isolated cases they can release the weakly bonded old snow as well. This applies in particular on very steep north facing slopes in little used backcountry terrain.
Careful route selection is recommended.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation wet avalanches are possible as the day progresses. Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be concluded timely.
