Wet snow represents the main danger. In addition the more recent wind slabs must be taken into account. Weakly bonded old snow in particular on steep shady slopes.

As a consequence of a strong wind from northwesterly directions, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed on Wednesday in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. At elevated altitudes the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. At transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack the likelihood of avalanches being released is greater. Avalanches can be released in the old snowpack, even by small loads in isolated cases. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes. Caution is to be exercised at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual mostly small moist snow slides are to be expected as the day progresses. This applies in particular on sunny slopes, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2400 m. Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be concluded timely.

In some cases the wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with the old snowpack. In some places wind slabs are lying on a hard crust. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. This applies above approximately 2200 m. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to gradual moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. These conditions will bring about a weakening of the snowpack.

On Sunday it will be partly cloudy. Slight decrease in danger of moist and wet snow slides as the temperature drops.
