Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

In isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Mostly avalanches are small. The older wind slabs of the last few days are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 2600 m. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Shady slopes above approximately 2600 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. The older wind slabs are lying on soft layers. All aspects below approximately 2600 m: The snowpack is largely stable and its surface has a crust. Steep sunny slopes: The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to slight moistening of the snowpack. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Less snow than usual is lying in all altitude zones.

Low avalanche danger will prevail.
