The snowpack will be in most cases stable. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of a strong northerly wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last few days in some localities. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects at elevated altitudes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. They are mostly easy to recognise and to be assessed with care and prudence. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released especially by large additional loads. At lower altitudes and below the tree line the snowpack is well bonded.
Snowpack
At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions less snow than usual is lying. Over a wide area no snow is lying. As a consequence of mild temperatures, solar radiation and the light to moderate wind, the snow drift accumulations stabilised during the last few days, in particular on sunny slopes. Here the snowpack is better bonded.
The old snowpack will be prone to triggering in some places, especially on shady slopes between approximately 2200 and 2600 m.
Tendency
As a consequence of the occasionally strong northerly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form on Saturday. In the regions exposed to the foehn wind there will be only a slight increase in the avalanche danger.
