Danger level

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. Moist loose snow slides are possible in isolated cases as before.
The old snowpack will be generally stable. It is homogeneous and its surface has a strong crust. As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from southerly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs will form in the afternoon in some places, in particular on very steep shady slopes above the tree line, as well as adjacent to ridgelines in high Alpine regions. Mostly avalanches are only small but can be released even by a single winter sport participant.
Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.
In addition mostly small loose snow avalanches are possible, in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
In some localities 5 to 15 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1500 m. The wind will be strong to storm force at times.
Fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects above the tree line.
The old snowpack will be moist below approximately 2400 m.
Tendency
Over a wide area over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Wednesday. As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force wind from southerly directions, sometimes large wind slabs will form. Gliding snow requires caution.
