A widespread favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Old wind slabs require caution.
The hard wind slabs of Monday can be released in isolated cases, but mostly only by large additional loads, in particular on very steep, little used north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised at their margins in particular. They are lying on weak layers in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In very isolated cases the avalanches in these loacations are medium-sized.
On extremely steep sunny slopes moist snow slides are possible as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small. Very steep grassy slopes above approximately 2000 m: In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.

Snowpack
>
The hard wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and stability tests indicate the unfavourable bonding of the snowpack in particular on wind-loaded slopes.
On Saturday it will be sunny. In particular steep sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. In particular west and north facing slopes: In many places there is a danger of falling on the hard crust.

Tendency
Sunday: Significant decrease in danger of moist avalanches as the temperature drops. Hardly any decrease in avalanche danger on wind-loaded slopes.
