Gliding snow
Wet and gliding snow represent the main danger.
From midday as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a significant increase in the danger of wet and gliding avalanches, in particular at the border to Ribagorça and Pallars. Small to medium-sized natural avalanches are to be expected in all aspects. Moist avalanches can in some cases be released by a single winter sport participant. Gliding avalanches are also to be expected at any time.
Old wind slabs can be released in isolated cases on steep shady slopes above approximately 2700 m. Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" are rather small.

Snowpack
>
The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in all aspects.
The old snowpack will be moist over a wide area. This applies on sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2200 m.
Weak layers exist deeper in the old snowpack on shady slopes.
Backcountry tours should be started and concluded very early.
