Fresh wind slabs require caution. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 1800 m, and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in all aspects. These places are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. In isolated cases the dry avalanches are medium-sized but in some cases easily released. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the snowpack especially on steep shady slopes. There is a danger of falling on the icy crust. The wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering above the tree line. These are mostly small. The older wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The avalanche danger will persist. Fresh wind slabs require caution. 2020-02-11T16:00:00Z 2020-02-11T23:00:00Z 2020-02-12T23:00:00Z 2 1 DP6 drifting snow old snow 2300 2800 Caution is to be exercised on wind-loaded slopes. Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. As a consequence of a moderate to strong northwesterly wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in all aspects. The more recent wind slabs are clearly recognisable, in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. In particular in gullies and bowls the wind slabs have increased in size moderately since Monday. <br/> Weakly bonded old snow: The avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes between approximately 2300 and 2800 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack in little used backcountry terrain. Avalanches can be released by large loads and reach large size in isolated cases. <br/> In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. <br/> Over a wide area strong northwesterly wind: In some localities up to 5 cm of snow. fell. The fresh wind slabs will become increasingly prone to triggering above the tree line. <br/> Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies in particular between approximately 2300 and 2800 m, especially in little used backcountry terrain. <br/> The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The avalanche danger will persist. Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. 2020-02-11T16:00:00Z 2020-02-11T23:00:00Z 2020-02-12T23:00:00Z 2 1 DP6 drifting snow Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep northeast, north and southeast facing slopes above the tree line, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These places are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Mostly the avalanches are small. <br/> Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found also on extremely steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. This applies in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. Avalanches can be released, mostly by large loads in isolated cases and reach medium size. <br/> In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. The strong wind will transport the snow. The fresh wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes above the tree line. These are mostly small. In very isolated cases relatively hard layers of snow are lying on old snow containing large grains. This applies especially on shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. 2020-02-11T16:00:00Z 2020-02-11T23:00:00Z 2020-02-12T23:00:00Z 1 1 drifting snow wet snow Fresh wind slabs require caution. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. Fresh wind slabs require caution. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 1800 m and adjacent to ridgelines. These places are rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. As a consequence of warming and solar radiation a low danger of moist avalanches will persist in some regions. The avalanches are rather small. The fresh wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in particular on very steep shady slopes above the tree line. The avalanche danger will persist. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
