New snow
1500m
The avalanche conditions remain dangerous.
Weakly bonded old snow on shady slopes. New snow in all aspects.
Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on shady slopes. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example: Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places by winter sport participants. Sometimes the avalanches are dangerously large.
The new snow can be released easily or naturally in all aspects. More dry snow slides and avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, even medium-sized ones.
As a consequence of warming moist snow slides are to be expected from the early morning.
At the border to Ribagorça and Pallars the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is slightly greater. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for extensive experience and great restraint.

Snowpack

Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on rather lightly snow-covered west, north and east facing slopes.
Tuesday: 10 to 15 cm of snow fell in the past few hours. 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the afternoon. Afternoon: Southern and eastern borders of Aran, The southeasterly wind will transport the new snow.
At intermediate altitudes there are 80 to 120 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
