A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail.

A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail.

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes moderate wind from variable directions, small wind slabs formed adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. These are in isolated cases prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. On extremely steep sunny slopes individual loose snow slides are possible as a consequence of solar radiation.

5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Thursday. The wind was light to moderate. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
