Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow
2000m
Wet snow
1800m
Wind slabs and wet snow represent the main danger.
On north, northeast facing slopes mostly shallow wind slabs formed. Sometimes they are medium-sized and can be released in many cases even by a single winter sport participant. On the peaks and ridges of the divide with the Ribagorçana basin and the Pallaresa basin and at high altitude the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.
From the early morning as a consequence of the moist air there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist avalanches. They are small but can be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in extreme terrain at intermediate and high altitudes.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience and a certain restraint.

Snowpack
>
In particular in the south and in the east 15 to 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days above approximately 1800 m. As a consequence of a moderate to strong southwesterly wind, small wind slabs formed on Wednesday in particular on north, northeast and east facing slopes. They are lying on unfavourable layers in particular on little used shady slopes and at intermediate and high altitudes.
The old snowpack remains well bonded on sunny slopes.
Above approximately 2000 m there are 100 to 200 cm of snow. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency
Friday: The danger of dry slab avalanches will persist. The danger of moist avalanches will decrease gradually.
