Weakly bonded old snow and wet snow require caution.

Weakly bonded old snow and wet snow require caution.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Avalanches can be released in the old snowpack, even by a single winter sport participant. They can in isolated cases release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach quite a large size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular above approximately 2000 m and on steep northwest and northeast facing slopes. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced. In the late morning the likelihood of slab avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep southeast and southwest facing slopes below approximately 2400 m. As a consequence of warming during the day individual mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible.

Shady slopes: Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies especially above approximately 2000 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced. The surface of the snowpack is hardly frozen at all and will already be soft in the early morning. This applies in particular below approximately 2400 m. Some snow has fallen in some regions. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations over a wide area.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase a little during the day.
