Weakly bonded old snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence. Wind slabs require caution.

Weakly bonded old snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence. Wind slabs require caution.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places even by individual winter sport participants in particular on very steep shady slopes, especially above approximately 2400 m. Wind slabs are rather small but can be released in isolated cases. Additionally in some places avalanches can also penetrate deep layers and reach large size, in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day, in the event of prolonged bright spells in particular.

In some localities up to 10 cm of snow will fall on Tuesday. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong northwesterly wind, small wind slabs will form. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack, in the event of prolonged bright spells in particular.

The meteorological conditions will facilitate a slow stabilisation of the snowpack.
