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

Weakly bonded old snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence. Fresh 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. Fresh wind slabs are rather small but in some cases prone to triggering. 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.

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