The soft wind slabs of the weekend can be released by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. In very isolated cases the avalanches in these regions are medium-sized. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
The new snow of the weekend is loosely bonded in all aspects. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations over a wide area.
The avalanche danger will persist.
