Fresh wind slabs require caution. Weak layers in the old snowpack are treacherous.

Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 1900 m, especially adjacent to ridgelines. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in isolated cases by individual winter sport participants. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep, little used west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. In isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach medium size.
Some small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are possible in particular on steep southeast, south and west facing slopes.

Snowpack

dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind

In some regions up to 5 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1900 m. As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force wind from northerly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form especially adjacent to ridgelines.
Precarious weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on steep, little used west, north and east facing slopes.

Tendency

On Sunday the wind will be strong over a wide area. In addition wind slabs will form especially above approximately 1900 m. The avalanche danger will persist.


Danger level



Low avalanche danger will prevail.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible.
Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Mostly avalanches are small.

Snowpack

The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften quickly. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on steep shady slopes.

The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Below the tree line only a little snow is now lying.

Tendency

Low avalanche danger will prevail.
