Avalanche danger is low. Isolatedn small loose-snow naturally triggered avalanches are possible or can be triggered by one sole skier. Danger zones for small slab avalanches in the snowdrifts occur selcomd on very steep N/E facing slopes at high altitudes. On steep grass-covered slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
Atop a shallow, generally stable snowpack (as long as there is snow on the ground), which at intermediate altitudes is already 0 degrees isotherem and on sunny slopes at high altitudes has melt-freeze forms, about 5-15 cm of fresh snow will fall, without much wind impact.
Tendency
Initially no change. On Friday, more fresh snowfall, then slightly increasing danger.

Avoid snowdrift accumulations
Avalanche danger is moderate above 2000m. Small slab avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier in a few steep spots. Danger zones occur above 2200m esp. on NW/N/NE facing slopes, on occasion distant from ridgelines. Caution urged esp. at entry points into very steep gullies and bowls. During the course of the day, naturally triggered loose-snow avalanches can be expected in extremely steep south-facing terrain below 2200m. On steep grass-covered slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible in isolated cases.
Snowpack
The snowpack surface is highly diverse. Southerly winds will transporte the fresh fallen snow (10cm) and generated new snowdrift accumulations which esp on shady slopes will be deposited atop soft layers. The (shallow) old snowpack is expansively metamorphosed at high and high-alpine altitudes, but hardly tends towards fracture propagation. On sunny slopes, melting forms dominate in the old snowpack.
Tendency
On Friday some new fallen snow, but little change anticipated
