A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail.

A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail.

The old wind slabs can only be released in isolated cases. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in extremely steep terrain. Such avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Even a small avalanche can sweep winter sport participants along and give rise to falls. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist snow slides being released will increase a little.

Hardly any weak layers exist in the snowpack. The old wind slabs are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on extremely steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night. The weather conditions will give rise to slight softening of the snowpack. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Some snow will fall on Wednesday. Slight increase in danger of dry avalanches at elevated altitudes.
