In particular on steep grassy slopes natural avalanches must be expected more frequently. Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated critically.
On steep grassy slopes gliding avalanches are possible at any time, even very large ones in isolated cases. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2600 m. Exposed parts of transportation routes can be endangered.
The fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above the tree line. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. From origins in starting zones at higher altitudes only isolated natural dry avalanches are possible.
The current avalanche situation calls for very extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and great restraint.
Snowpack
dp.2: gliding snow
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
5 to 10 cm of snow, and up to 15 cm in some localities, will fall on Wednesday. The strong wind has transported the new snow significantly. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded poorly together. This applies at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs are covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will decrease gradually. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.
