Single winter sport participants can release avalanches easily. <br/> Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases, especially in the regions with a lot of snow. <br/> Mostly the avalanches are small. On wind-loaded slopes medium-sized avalanches are possible. <br/> The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects above approximately 2500 m and on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects. <br/> Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and fresh avalanches serve as an alarm indicating the danger. The avalanche prone locations are currently prevalent immediately adjacent to the pistes as well. The old snowpack will be unstable over a wide area. Stability tests and field observations confirm the unfavourable bonding of the snowpack. <br/> In the north 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Saturday. The new snow will be deposited on surface hoar in some places. <br/> A little snow is lying. As a consequence of new snow and wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase. 2022-12-09T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-12-09T23:00:00Z 2022-12-10T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP1 DP8 old snow increasing 2022-12-10T23:00:00Z 2022-12-11T23:00:00Z Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places. <br/> Mostly the avalanches are small. <br/> The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects. <br/> Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Even a small avalanche can sweep winter sport participants along and give rise to falls.

The old snowpack will be unstable in some places. <br/> The new snow of Friday is poorly bonded with the old snowpack. <br/> A little snow is lying. As a consequence of the sometimes strong northerly wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase.
