A lot of snow has fallen. Considerable avalanche danger will prevail.

A lot of snow has fallen. Considerable avalanche danger will prevail.

The new snow and wind slabs of the last two days are bonding poorly with the old snowpack in many places. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. In particular on steep shady slopes the avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack. The fresh wind slabs can be released, even by a single winter sport participant. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and whumpfing sounds can indicate the danger.

As a consequence of snowfall and the wind, a treacherous avalanche situation developed. New snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Numerous weak layers exist in the old snowpack. They are to be found in particular on shady slopes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.

Over a wide area intensive precipitation above approximately 1200 m. The wind will be moderate to strong. The meteorological conditions will cause a rise in the avalanche danger.
