Increasing avalanche danger during the day due to some fresh snow and wind
Freshly generated snowdrifts are prone to triggering. Danger zones are located especially near ridgelines on shady W-N-SE facing slopes and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Frequency and spread of avalanche prone locations increase with ascending altitude and as the day proceeds. In addition, isolated avalanches can be releases in high alpine regions on very steep shady slopes in the weak old snow. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and being forced to take a fall also require caution.
Snowpack
Fresh snowfall is anticipated: 5-15cm. This and the loosely-packed old snow will be transported by the intermittently strong-velocity winds. Fresh snow and drifts will be deposited frequently on top of a loosely-packed old snowpack surface and bond poorly with it. The old snowpack is unfavorably metamorphosed. On shady slopes in high alpine regions, isolated weak layers occur inside the old snowpack.
Tendency
Avalanche danger will continue to increase as result of fresh snowfall and wind
