Dry and moist avalanches require caution.

Dry and moist avalanches require caution.

Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep slopes at high altitude, also on steep shady slopes in areas close to the tree line. The various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. The avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.

The rain gave rise on Tuesday to thorough wetting of the snowpack below approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of falling temperatures a crust formed on the surface during the night. The rain gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area below approximately 1900 m. Over a wide area new snow is lying on a wet snowpack. The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are to some extent precarious.

Thursday: The avalanche danger will persist.
