Highlights

At elevated altitudes a dangerous avalanche situation will persist in some regions. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on north, northeast and northwest facing slopes. They must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases. Care is required.

Avalanche Activity

At elevated altitudes a dangerous avalanche situation will persist in some regions. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on north, northeast and northwest facing slopes. They must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases. Care is required.

At elevated altitudes a dangerous avalanche situation will persist in some regions. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on north, northeast and northwest facing slopes. They must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. As a consequence of bise wind, brittle wind slabs formed on Thursday above the tree line. These must be evaluated with care and prudence. The snowpack will be favourable at low and intermediate altitudes. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth.

Snowpack Structure

Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. They remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence. As a consequence of the sometimes strong wind they have increased in size on Thursday. The snowpack will be favourable at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of falling temperatures a crust formed on the surface during the night.

Tendency

Over a wide area new snow above approximately 1500 m. As a consequence of the new snow the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent on Sunday. In the regions where more snow falls danger level 3 (considerable) may be reached.
