Moist and wet avalanches are the main danger. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Moist and wet avalanches are the main danger. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

On very steep slopes individual mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places by individual winter sport participants. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep, little used shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Mostly avalanches are small. The current avalanche situation calls for careful route selection.

The surface of the snowpack cooled hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. Some snow will fall on Saturday in some regions. In addition wind slabs will form in the afternoon. The snowpack will become generally subject to considerable local variations. Precarious weak layers exist deep in the old snowpack on little used shady slopes.

On Sunday the wind will be strong over a wide area. In addition wind slabs will form by the evening. The avalanche danger will persist.
