Friday: The avalanche danger will persist.
Wind slabs represent the main danger.
The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to softening of the snowpack below approximately 2000 m. The more recent wind slabs represent the main danger. Avalanches can penetrate down to the ground and reach medium size.
As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from northerly directions, sometimes large wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects and generally above the tree line. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to softening of the snowpack below approximately 2000 m.
