Dry avalanches: New snow
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2800m.
Danger description
The fresh snow of the last few days and the wind slabs to be found adjacent to riddgelines are in some cases still prone to triggering. Winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places. These can reach medium size in isolated cases. At elevated altitudes the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent.
Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
Remarks
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.
Additional danger: Wet avalanches as day progresses
