New snow, wind slabs and old snow require caution.

New snow, wind slabs and old snow require caution.

Fresh wind slabs require caution, in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. The wind slabs are mostly shallow and prone to triggering. These are clearly recognisable. Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in the old snowpack. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Some snow has fallen since yesterday over a wide area. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced. The snowpack will be in most cases stable. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

The avalanche danger will persist.
