Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

In very isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west to north to east facing slopes. Wind slabs are mostly rather small and can only be released in isolated cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist snow slides are possible. Mostly the avalanches are small.

Over a wide area a little snow is lying. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted, especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes. Towards its surface, the snowpack is hard and its surface has a melt-freeze crust.

On Saturday it will be mostly sunny. The wind will be moderate. The avalanche danger will persist.
