Avalanche Activity

The new snow represents the main danger.

Over a wide area 40 to 60 cm of snow will fall on Saturday above approximately 1600 m. During the course of the night as a consequence of the snowfall there will be a gradual increase in the avalanche danger. At high altitude and in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. The fresh wind slabs can be released even by a single winter sport participant at elevated altitudes.

Snowpack Structure

The weather conditions during the course of the night will give rise to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack over a wide area. The new snow is bonding poorly with the old snowpack in many places in particular on steep shady slopes. Over a wide area new snow is lying on soft layers. As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind, easily released wind slabs will form. In particular at low altitude a little snow is lying.

Tendency

Over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Sunday above approximately 1500 m.
