Danger level

The wind slabs represent the main danger.
As a consequence of the northerly wind, the snow drift accumulations have increased in size during the last two days. This applies especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The wind slabs of the last few days can be released easily in particular on southwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised at their margins in particular. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
Mostly the avalanches are small.
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.
In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized.
Even a small avalanche can sweep snow sport participants along and give rise to falls.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. In some cases the wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack.
In particular shady slopes, above approximately 2600 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack.
The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.
Steep south facing slopes: Only a little snow is lying.
Tendency
The wind slabs remain prone to triggering. The avalanche danger will persist.
