Wind slabs represent the main danger. Increase in danger of dry and moist avalanches as a consequence of solar radiation.
On steep slopes medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large avalanches are possible. As a consequence of solar radiation, the avalanche activity will increase. The new snow and wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant, in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Caution is to be exercised in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation.
Over a wide area over a wide area 20 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Friday above approximately 2000 m. New snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack, in particular on shady slopes. The high humditiy gave rise on Saturday to significant moistening of the snowpack in all aspects below approximately 2100 m.
The avalanche danger will persist.
