New snow
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2000m.
Danger description
The new snow and wind slabs of the last three days can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases. The avalanches are dangerously large. Individual natural avalanches are possible. The older wind slabs are covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
Wet avalanches as day progresses, gliding avalanches
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation a large number of moist snow slides and avalanches are to be expected.
Individual occasionally large gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
