Weakly bonded old snow and wet snow require caution.

Weakly bonded old snow and wet snow require caution.

The early morning will see quite favourable conditions generally. Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in some places by individual winter sport participants, especially at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example, as well as in little used backcountry terrain. The avalanche prone locations are rare but are difficult to recognise. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. On very steep sunny slopes small and medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day. Backcountry tours should be concluded before midday.

The snowpack will be quite well bonded. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the snowpack, especially on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. On Saturday the wind will be strong in the vicinity of peaks. The wind will transport only a little snow. The weather will be mild. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will soften during the day. At intermediate altitudes only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

On Sunday the wind will be strong adjacent to ridgelines in some regions. Increase in danger of moist avalanches in the course of the day.
