Highlights
Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint.
Avalanche problems
Tendency
As a consequence of new snow and wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase.
Avalanche Activity
Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint.
Single winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places. Mostly the avalanches are small. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Even a small avalanche can sweep winter sport participants along and give rise to falls.
Snowpack Structure
The old snowpack will be unstable in some places. 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Saturday. The new snow will be deposited on surface hoar in some places. A little snow is lying.
