The avalanche prone locations are rare.
In isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Mostly avalanches are small.
As a consequence of the moderate to strong southerly wind, snow drift accumulations formed on Tuesday. This applies especially on shady slopes in high Alpine regions. The wind slabs are mostly shallow and prone to triggering. These are clearly recognisable. Mostly avalanches are small.
Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
Snowpack
Shady slopes above approximately 2600 m: Precarious weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack.
All aspects below approximately 2600 m: The snowpack is largely stable and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a crust.
Some snow has fallen since yesterday over a wide area. Shady slopes above approximately 2600 m: The mostly small wind slabs are lying on soft layers.
The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days are lying on a crust below approximately 2600 m.
The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations. In all regions less snow than usual is lying.
Tendency
As a consequence of the snowfall there will be only a very slight increase in the danger.
