Stability: poor · Frequency: some
Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and wind.
As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind from northerly directions, rather small wind slabs will form in the course of the day. These can be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on near-ridge shady slopes above approximately 2400 m.
Up to 25 cm of snow will fall. The new snow will be deposited on soft layers on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. West, south and east facing slopes below approximately 2400 m: The new snow will be deposited on a crust. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at intermediate altitudes. Below the tree line only a little snow is now lying.
Hardly any decrease in danger of dry avalanches.
