Border Graie Alps

The fresh and older wind slabs can still be released.

The fresh and older wind slabs are to be found in particular on northeast, east and southeast facing slopes. The new snow and wind slabs of last week are poorly bonded with the old snowpack. Large-grained weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes. Stability tests have shown the existence of a weak snowack in particular on west to north to northeast facing slopes. At elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In particular in the vicinity of peaks hardly any snow is lying. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to gradual consolidation of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes.

The meteorological conditions will allow a slight temporary decrease in the avalanche danger for Friday.

The fresh and older wind slabs can still be released.

The fresh and older wind slabs are to be found in particular on northwest, north and southeast facing slopes. They can still be released at intermediate and high altitudes. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls, and on wind-loaded slopes above approximately 2200 m. Large-grained weak layers exist in the old snowpack on steep shady slopes. In some places avalanches can be triggered in the old snowpack and reach quite a large size. Careful route selection and spacing between individuals are recommended. The meteorological conditions will facilitate a gradual change towards better conditions as the day progresses in particular on sunny slopes.
