Wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering above approximately 2700 m. Wet and gliding snow are to be assessed with care and prudence.
The deep wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2700 m. Avalanches can in very isolated cases reach medium size.
Avalanches can in very isolated cases be triggered in the old snowpack and reach quite a large size. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2700 m.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large avalanches are possible. This applies in particular at the base of rock walls. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2700 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good over a wide area.
The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack below approximately 2700 m.
Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. At low altitude only a little snow is lying. In some localities 2 to 5 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 2200 m. Until late morning the wind will be moderate to strong at times.
Tendency
Saturday: In the afternoon as a consequence of new snow and strong wind there will be only a slight increase in the avalanche danger.
