A mostly favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Dry slab avalanches and moist snow slides during the day are possible in isolated cases as before.
The hard wind slabs can still be released 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 adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In very isolated cases the avalanches in these loacations are medium-sized. In addition the more recent wind slabs of Saturday in particular adjacent to ridgelines on north and west facing slopes and generally at elevated altitudes are capable of being triggered now as before. These are very small but in some cases prone to triggering.
On very steep sunny slopes more small moist snow slides are possible as the day progresses. Also very steep grassy slopes: A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.

Snowpack
>
The hard wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack 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. The fresh wind slabs have settled a little.
On Monday it will be warm. Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will already soften in the late morning. In particular very steep shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines: There is a danger of falling on the hard crust.

Tendency
On Tuesday it will be very warm. Significant increase in danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides in the course of the day. In some localities decrease in danger of dry avalanches on wind-loaded slopes.
