New snow and wet snow represent the main danger. Medium-sized dry and wet avalanches are to be expected above approximately 2000 m.

New snow and wet snow represent the main danger. Medium-sized dry and wet avalanches are to be expected above approximately 2000 m.

As a consequence of new snow and wind, sometimes deep wind slabs formed in the last few days adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls as well as above approximately 2600 m. They can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases especially on very steep shady slopes. Especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes and below approximately 2600 m individual wet slab avalanches are to be expected as the penetration by moisture increases. Wet avalanches can as before be released by a single winter sport participant. Dry and moist avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day there will be a rapid increase in the danger of wet avalanches. Individual gliding avalanches can also occur, caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep grassy slopes in the regions with a lot of snow.

The snowpack remains prone to triggering in particular on steep slopes. Especially high Alpine regions: As a consequence of the northerly wind the wind slabs will increase in size additionally. The sleet gave rise to significant moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2600 m. New snow and wind slabs are lying on a moist old snowpack.
