Monregalese Valleys

New snow and wind slabs require caution.

15 to 30 cm of snow has fallen since Friday above approximately 1800 m. 20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall during the night above approximately 1800 m. Adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls further wind slabs will form. Various wind slab layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack, in particular on steep shady slopes. The snowpack remains generally prone to triggering. New snow is lying on the soft surface of an old snowpack. Especially very steep shady slopes, above approximately 2200 m: Towards its base, the snowpack is unstable.

With the end of the precipitation, the natural avalanche activity will gradually decrease.

New snow and wind slabs require caution.

Above approximately 1200 m snow will fall until Sunday. Large avalanches are possible as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. Adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls wind slabs will form. On very steep shady slopes the avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack and reach quite a large size. The new snow and wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches can reach valley bottoms and in some places endanger exposed transportation routes.
