New snow, wind slabs and old snow require caution.
The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are barely recognisable for beginners. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.
Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can release deeper layers of the snowpack. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Whumpfing sounds can indicate the danger.
In the regions exposed to precipitation loose snow avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
Some snow will fall until Saturday in some regions. In some regions up to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes.
Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes.
The old snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.
Tendency
Sunday: The avalanche danger will not decrease for the time being.
