Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

As a consequence of a moderate southerly wind, small wind slabs formed since Friday in isolated cases. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Wind slabs are to be avoided especially in terrain where there is a danger of falling.

In all altitude zones only a little snow is lying. The snowpack is soft; its surface is loosely bonded and consists of surface hoar and faceted crystals. As a consequence of a moderate wind from southerly directions, small wind slabs formed since Friday adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas.

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind from northerly directions, further wind slabs will form on Sunday. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.
