Border Graie Alps

The new snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.

The new snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.

Above approximately 1500 m snow will fall until the afternoon. In these regions the avalanche danger will increase gradually to level 2 (moderate). The fresh snow of the last two days and in particular the mostly small wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant, in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation caution is to be exercised in particular on steep slopes.

Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on a hard crust. Large-grained weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes. This applies especially on shady slopes. The old snowpack remains generally stable.
