Avalanche Problem
Wind slab
2300m
Wet snow
Wind slabs at elevated altitudes. Dry and moist snow slides.
The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days can be released in some cases at intermediate and high altitudes. The avalanches are rather small. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in shady places that are protected from the wind above approximately 2300 m and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In particular at the border to Ribagorça and Pallars the dry avalanches are in some cases medium-sized.
Sunny slopes and low altitudes: As the day progresses small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist snow slides and avalanches are possible. These can be released by a single winter sport participant or triggered naturally. On steep grassy slopes more small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible.
Experience in the assessment of avalanche danger is required.

Snowpack
>
Over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell yesterday above approximately 1600 m.
Until midday the weather will be sunny at times.
High altitudes: The new snow-covered wind slabs of yesterday are lying on a crust. Towards its base, the snowpack is weak. In particular low altitudes as well as steep sunny slopes: The snowpack will be generally moist.
At intermediate altitudes there are 150 to 200 cm of snow, and even more in some localities.

Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
