At elevated altitudes a sometimes treacherous avalanche situation will still be encountered.
The wind slabs of the last few days are to be evaluated with care and prudence. They are to be found in particular in steep terrain at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Caution is to be exercised at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released especially by large additional loads on very steep shady slopes.
Snowpack
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
The snowpack will be favourable over a wide area. The more recent wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on very steep shady slopes at high altitude. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack at elevated altitudes.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.

The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are mostly favourable.
