New snow and wind slabs require caution.
The large quantity of fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs formed during the snowfall can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above the tree line. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible, in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.
In all aspects more frequent small and medium-sized loose snow avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of warming during the day, in particular on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2200 m, as well as at the base of rock walls.
Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Over a wide area over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days above approximately 1500 m. The wind was strong to storm force at times. In places that are protected from the wind sometimes large wind slabs formed. These are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in all aspects above the tree line.
5 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Friday above approximately 1800 m.
The wind slabs will be covered with new snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise.
Tendency
In some regions 20 to 30 cm of snow will fall on Saturday above approximately 2000 m. New snow and wind slabs require caution. The avalanche danger will persist.
