Avalanche Problem
Wind slab
2000m
Wind slabs represent the main danger.
Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on wind-protected shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects. Mostly Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" are small but in some cases easily released. At the border to Ribagorça and Pallars and at the border to Benasque the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and larger. In particular these can in some cases reach medium size.
Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Off-piste activities call for meticulous route selection.

Snowpack
>
10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Monday above approximately 2000 m. The northwesterly wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. The somewhat older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. Some snow will fall on Wednesday. The moderate wind will transport the new snow. The fresh wind slabs will form in particular adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects and generally at high altitudes.
Above the tree line there are 10 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency
Thursday: Gradual decrease in danger of dry avalanches on wind-loaded slopes. In some localities increase in danger of moist snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
