New snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.

New snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.

In all regions at elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls sometimes easily released wind slabs formed. At low altitude a low danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides will be encountered in some localities. Remotely triggered and natural avalanches are possible in isolated cases.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Precarious weak layers exist in the snowpack at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. The barely recognisable wind slabs of Friday are to be avoided as far as possible in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

As a consequence of wind a considerable avalanche danger will still be encountered.
