New snow

 

The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence.
The new snow-covered wind slabs of Tuesday can still be released in some cases in particular on very steep northeast, east and southeast facing slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. In isolated cases Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" are medium-sized.
The new snow of Tuesday can be released by a single winter sport participant in particular on very steep shady slopes at intermediate and high altitudes. These are rather small.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation gliding avalanches are possible from the early morning, but they will be mostly small.
Snowpack
>
Up to 10 cm of snow fell on Tuesday in all altitude zones. At the southern and eastern borders of Aran snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. As a consequence of low temperatures the snowpack will become faceted in the course of the day and therefore lose strength. In its middle, the snowpack is favourably layered.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and caution.
Tendency
The danger of dry avalanches will increase during the day.
