Trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations are forming. The accumulations can be easily triggered even by one sole skier. Danger zones occur in wind-loaded steep terrain, in gullies and bowls, and behind protruberances in the landscape. Size and frequency of danger zones tend to increase with ascending altitude. In addition, on steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in transitions from shallow to deep snow, isolated slab avalanches can be triggered by large additional loading. In zones where there has been rain impact, slides and small wet-snow avalanches are possible. Glide-snow avalanches, mostly small, continue to be possible. Caution urged below glide cracks.
Snowpack
Fresh snow and loosely-packed older snow will be transported widespread at high altitudes. Fresh and older, covered snowdrift accumulations are prone to triggering. The old snowpack is well consolidated by and large. In zones with rain impact, the snowpack is being weakened. Glide-snow avalanches continue to be possible.
Tendency
Variable conditions, fresh snowdrift accumulations remain prone to triggering

Increasing avalanche danger due to fresh snow and winds
Additional trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations are forming. The accumulations can be easily triggered even by one sole skier. Danger zones occur in wind-loaded steep terrain, in gullies and bowls, and behind protruberances in the landscape. Size and frequency of danger zones tend to increase with ascending altitude. In zones where there has been rain impact, slides and small wet-snow avalanches are possible. Glide-snow avalanches, mostly small, continue to be possible. Caution urged below glide cracks.
Snowpack
Trigger sensitive snowdrift accumulations will be generated. Also older accumulations can be triggered. The old snowpack is by and large well consolidated. Due to rain impact, the snowpack has been weakened. Glide-snow avalanches continue to be possible.
Tendency
Variable conditions, fresh snowdrift accumulations remain prone to triggering
Additional trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations can be easily triggered even by one sole skier. Danger zones occur also distant from ridgelines in wind-loaded steep terrain, in gullies and bowls, and behind protruberances in the landscape. Size and frequency of danger zones tend to increase with ascending altitude. Glide-snow avalanches, mostly small, continue to be possible. Caution urged below glide cracks.
Snowpack
Fresh snowdrift accumulations above the timberline are often prone to triggering. At lower altitudes there is little snow on the ground. Due to rain impact, the snowpack is weakening. Glide-snow avalanches are still possible.
Tendency
Variable conditions, some fresh snowfall anticipated
