As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes moderate wind, wind slabs will form in the course of the day.

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes moderate wind, wind slabs will form in the course of the day.

The new snow and wind slabs of the last two days can be released easily or naturally above approximately 1800 m. On very steep slopes small and medium-sized avalanches are possible. The older wind slabs are covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and up to 30 cm in some localities, has fallen since yesterday above approximately 1200 m. The new snow is lying on a crust on sunny slopes and at low and intermediate altitudes. Above the tree line: The older wind slabs are covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise. The sometimes moderate wind will transport the new snow.

The danger of dry avalanches will increase a little during the day.
