Moist snow slides and avalanches as the day progresses. A very large quantity of fresh snow and in particular the extensive wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall can be released easily, or, in isolated cases naturally in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from northwesterly directions, easily released wind slabs will form in the course of the day in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls as well as in high Alpine regions. Especially in the valleys of Molières and Conangles the avalanches can be released naturally and reach medium size. <br/> As a consequence of warming during the day small to medium-sized moist snow slides and avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m. In addition an appreciable danger of gliding avalanches exists. <br/> <br/> Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection. 15 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since yesterday above approximately 1800 m. 5 to 10 cm of snow, but less in some localities, will fall in the next few hours above approximately 2000 m. Adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects: The sometimes strong wind has transported the new snow significantly. <br/> The new snow of last week has bonded well with the old snowpack in all aspects. <br/> <br/> The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the high Alpine regions, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Significant increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. 2022-04-23T16:02:43Z Avalanche.report 2022-04-23T22:00:00Z 2022-04-24T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 2 drifting snow wet snow gliding snow steady 2022-04-24T22:00:00Z 2022-04-25T22:00:00Z Fresh wind slabs at high altitude. Dry and moist snow slides as the day progresses. The new snow and wind slabs of yesterday remain in some cases prone to triggering in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from northwesterly directions, sometimes easily released wind slabs will form in the course of the day in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls as well as in high Alpine regions. They are mostly small but prone to triggering. <br/> <br/> As a consequence of warming during the day small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist snow slides are possible as the day progresses. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. <br/> Backcountry touring calls for defensive route selection. Over a wide area 10 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since yesterday above approximately 2000 m. 5 to 10 cm of snow will fall in the middle of the day above approximately 2000 m. The northwesterly wind will transport the new snow significantly. The new snow of the last few days has bonded in all aspects. <br/> <br/> The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the high Alpine regions, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Rapid increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
