New snow and wind slabs require caution.
Significant increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released easily or naturally in all aspects. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In some cases the avalanches are large. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude. Extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger is required.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Monday. As a consequence of a strong wind from southerly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs will form in all aspects. In many cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers, this also applies below the tree line. In its middle, the snowpack is well consolidated. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted, especially on shady slopes above the tree line, as well as in all aspects in high Alpine regions.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
