Adjacent to ridgelines a moderate avalanche danger will prevail.

Adjacent to ridgelines a moderate avalanche danger will prevail.

Since Friday wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. This applies in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation especially at intermediate and high altitudes. The more recent wind slabs are mostly rather small but in some cases prone to triggering.

As a consequence of new snow and wind, wind slabs formed since Friday in particular adjacent to ridgelines. In some cases the wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. Over a wide area less snow than usual is lying. Adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas as well as in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
