New snow

 

The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence.
Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are to be found in particular on east, southeast and south facing slopes and generally at high altitudes. The new snow-covered wind slabs of yesterday can be released easily by a single winter sport participant above approximately 2200 m. In isolated cases Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" are medium-sized.
The new snow of yesterday can be released easily, or, in isolated cases, naturally in all aspects at intermediate and high altitudes. These are rather small.
Several small gliding avalanches and snow slides are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
Snowpack
>
Up to 10 cm of snow fell on Tuesday in all altitude zones. At the southern and eastern borders of Aran snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. As a consequence of low temperatures the snowpack will become faceted during the next few days and therefore lose strength. Towards its base, the snowpack is favourably layered.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and caution.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
