Border Pennine Alps

The large quantity of fresh snow as well as the often large wind slabs will become increasingly prone to triggering. Numerous dry and wet avalanches are to be expected at any time, but they can be dangerously large.

The large quantity of fresh snow as well as the often large wind slabs will become increasingly prone to triggering. Numerous dry and wet avalanches are to be expected at any time, but they can be dangerously large.

A lot of new snow above approximately 2200 m. This applies in particular towards the evening. Avalanches can be released very easily and reach dangerously large size. Exposed buildings and exposed parts of transportation routes are endangered in isolated cases in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. Below approximately 2200 m moist and wet avalanches are possible. In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation moist avalanches can penetrate even deep layers. The conditions are very dangerous for ski touring, freeriding and snowshoe hiking.

The sleet will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack over a wide area in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind, large wind slabs formed in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain as well as at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. These spring-like weather conditions will give rise to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack over a wide area in all altitude zones.
