Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in steep terrain.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in steep terrain.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes. In addition the wind slabs of recent weeks are capable of being triggered in isolated cases. Avalanches can be released, mostly by large loads. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Over a wide area a little snow is lying. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Weak layers exist in the snowpack.

The weather will be sunny at times.
