Gliding avalanches are the main danger.

Gliding avalanches are the main danger.

A clear night will be followed by favourable avalanche conditions. From the middle of the day more small gliding avalanches are possible. Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" can occur in particular in starting zones where previous releases have taken place. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.

During the clear night the activity of gliding avalanches will already appreciably decrease. Until Monday the weather will be exceptionally warm. The snowpack will be generally moist. Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning. Shady slopes and above approximately 2000 m: The surface of the snowpack will hardly soften at all. There is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

The danger of gliding avalanches will persist.
