Moderate avalanche danger will persist in some regions.

Moderate avalanche danger will persist in some regions.

Avalanches can in some cases be released in near-surface layers. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above the tree line. Mostly avalanches are small. The somewhat older wind slabs are to be bypassed in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling.

As a consequence of wind from easterly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed in the last few days. In some cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Hardly any weak layers exist in the old snowpack.

As a consequence of a gathering storm force northwesterly wind, mostly small wind slabs will form on Monday. For this reason the avalanche danger will increase a little.
