Moderate avalanche danger will be encountered in some regions.

Moderate avalanche danger will be encountered in some regions.

As a consequence of new snow and wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last few days in some places. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep slopes, in particular in areas close to the tree line, and above the tree line. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The mostly small wind slabs are to be bypassed in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling.

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from northeasterly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on a hard crust. In some places wind slabs are lying on soft layers.

Gradual decrease in avalanche danger.
