Persistent weak layer

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.
The fresh wind slabs are mostly small and prone to triggering. They are to be found in particular on north and east facing slopes and at high altitudes.
Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can be released in isolated cases by people. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and in the vicinity of peaks. In isolated cases the avalanches are medium-sized.
As the moisture increases gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible below approximately 2200 m.

Snowpack
>
In particular at the southern border of Aran up to 5 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 2200 m. 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the early morning. The wind will be moderate to strong. In some cases the wind slabs have bonded poorly with each other and the old snowpack.
The snowpack will become moist below approximately 2200 m.
At intermediate altitudes there are 40 to 90 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. In particular above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In all regions less snow than usual is lying.

Tendency
Slight increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
