Only isolated danger spots due to fresh snowdrift deposits.
The avalanche danger is low. Danger spots are fresh snowdrift deposits in some places. These are located in high entrances to gullies and bowls and behind terrain edges, especially in the extended eastern exposures. Small slab avalanches can be triggered here by even a low additional loads. In case of triggered avalanches risk of injuries is more likely than risk of being buried.
Snowpack
Fresh snowdrift deposits settled either on a hard old snow cover or on bare soils. At shady high altitudes and in blown-in gullies, a small unstable snow base in form of a succession of crusts and softer layers is present. At medium and lower altitudes as well as on sunny slopes, the snow base is missing.
Tendency
Wednesday will be predominantly cloudy in the mountains. Some new snow is to expect in the north. It will clear up in some places in the south. Strong northern winds and significantly cooler temperatures. Fresh snowdrift on surface hoar. Slightly short-Tim increasing avalanche danger.

Fresh snowdrift prone to triggering! In the extended expositions east!
The avalanche danger above 1.600 m is moderate. Danger spots are especially fresh driftsnow accumulations in the sectors north to southeast. Behind ridgelines as well as in the beginning of gullies and bowls slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads. In some places avalanches can slab through low weak layers within the old snow and reach medium sizes.
Snowpack
Due to new snow, northwesterly and northeasterly winds, fresh snowdrift formed in the sectors east and south and this till the tree line and below. It is poorly bonded with the old snowcover and the snow base is increasingly unstable due to a succession of crusts and softer layers.
