Weakly bonded old snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.
In some places avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow and reach medium size in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west to north to east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m and on steep sunny slopes above approximately 2600 m. Caution is to be exercised at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. The prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
Wind slabs are mostly small and can only be released in isolated cases, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m.
There is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.
Snowpack
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted, especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m, as well as on steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes.
The mostly small wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
Towards its surface, the snowpack is hard and its surface has a melt-freeze crust. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes.
Tendency
On Wednesday it will be sunny over a wide area. The wind will be light to moderate. The old snowpack remains prone to triggering in some places. The weather conditions will bring about a slight decrease in the danger of dry avalanches.
