Gliding avalanches and moist snow slides. New snow and wind slabs at elevated altitudes.

Gliding avalanches and moist snow slides. New snow and wind slabs at elevated altitudes.

On steep grassy slopes medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large gliding avalanches are to be expected. Sunny slopes, high altitudes: As a consequence of solar radiation small dry snow slides are to be expected. Low and intermediate altitudes: As the penetration by moisture increases small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist avalanches are possible. Border with Ribagorça and Pallars, Adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls: The new snow and wind slabs can be released in some cases at high altitude. Backcountry touring calls for meticulous route selection. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.

5 to 15 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 2200 m. Evening: Some snow will fall until the evening. Saturday: The weather will be sunny at times. High altitudes: The sometimes moderate wind will transport the new snow. Low and intermediate altitudes: The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften during the day. Shady slopes intermediate and high altitudes: Towards its base, the snowpack is weak. At intermediate altitudes there are 150 to 200 cm of snow, and even more in some localities.

Sunday: The avalanche danger will persist.
