Significant increase in avalanche danger in the course of the day. The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are unfavourable.
As a consequence of new snow and strong wind more frequent natural avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, even large ones. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches very easily, including large ones. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line, also on steep shady slopes in areas close to the tree line.
The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and great restraint are important.
Snowpack
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer dp.2: gliding snow
Over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from southwesterly directions, deep wind slabs will form. The fresh wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west to north to east facing aspects. They are lying on soft layers on shady slopes.
Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
Tendency
The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are unfavourable.

Significant increase in avalanche danger in the course of the day. The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are precarious.
The danger exists in particular in alpine snow sports terrain. As a consequence of new snow and stormy weather more frequent natural avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, even large ones. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line, also on steep shady slopes in areas close to the tree line.
Single winter sport participants can release avalanches very easily, including large ones. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility, caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as at the base of rock walls. Extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and great restraint are important.
As a consequence of the heavy precipitation gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are to be expected at any time, especially on steep grassy slopes below the tree line.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
Over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from southwesterly directions, deep wind slabs will form. The fresh wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west to north to east facing aspects. They are lying on soft layers on shady slopes. This applies in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. New snow is lying on a moist old snowpack. This applies below the tree line. Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
Tendency
The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are precarious. With the end of the precipitation, the natural avalanche activity will decrease.

New snow and wind slabs above approximately 1800 m. In addition the wind slabs in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain are capable of being triggered. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes.
As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The danger will increase during the day, reaching danger level 4 (high). On steep shady slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain slab avalanches are possible, even large ones.

Over a wide area over a wide area 40 to 80 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until Tuesday above approximately 1800 m. The snowpack will become in most cases subject to considerable local variations. The various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. The rain gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area below approximately 1700 m.
