Border Graie Alps

The fresh snow and the wind slabs represent the main danger. Transportation routes situated at higher altitudes can be endangered in some localities in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation.

30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 2000 m. The wind will be moderate to strong. The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects and generally above the tree line. They are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. As a consequence of the snowfall dry avalanches are to be expected, even very large ones. It is inadvisable to engage in ski touring, freeriding and snowshoe hiking.

Wind and new snow at low altitude. 30 to 50 cm of snow, and up to 60 cm in some localities, has fallen. In some places new snow and wind slabs are lying on the soft surface of an old snowpack. In some places new snow and wind slabs are lying on a hard crust.

As the day progresses as a consequence of warming there will be a gradual increase in the danger of dry and moist avalanches.
