The main problem is a persistent weak layer in persistent weak layer, wind slab is still prone to triggering
The avalanche risk is moderate above around 2000 metres and low below that. In the aspects from west to north to east, medium and occasionally large, dry slab avalanches can still be triggered by individuals in a few places. Such avalanche prone locations are rare but often unrecognisable. Take particular care at the transitions from little to more snow. In addition, the southerly foehn has created pillows of wind drifted snow that can still be easily triggered by individuals, especially in the extended northern exposures. Danger areas are usually adjacent to ridgelines and behind terrain edges.
In sunny conditions, small loose snow avalanches can be triggered from extremely steep sunny slopes.
Snowpack
Overnight snowfall is unproductive. Due to the many clouds, the snowpack can hardly outgoing longwave radiation overnight and no melt-freeze crust forms. In shady high altitudes, you can still find soft, faceted snow on the surface in some places, which has been partly covered by fresh wind slab and now some new fallen snow. Below this lies a well-set sequence of compact, older drift snow layers, in which a crust is embedded in combination with faceted crystals. The connection at the transition to the old snow foundation, which consists mainly of deep rime, is still poor. Deep and sunny middle layers are largely snowed out.
Tendency
With a brisk westerly wind, it will snow unproductively on Monday, the avalanche danger will not change significantly.
Danger level
Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches
The avalanche risk is low. In exceptional cases, small snow slabs can still be triggered in the entrance areas of steep gullies on shady slopes with a large additional load. The risk of being swept away and falling on icy, possibly thinly snow-covered surfaces generally outweighs the risk of burial.
Snowpack
Low and sunny mid-altitude areas are snowed out. Where present, the snowpack is moist to wet and well-set right up to the summit areas. Due to the many clouds, the snow surface can hardly outgoing longwave radiation overnight and no stable melt-freeze crust forms. In the higher areas on shady slopes, there are still weak layers of large faceted crystals in the lower part of the snowpack, especially near the ground.
Tendency
The southerly foehn subsides and it snows unproductively. The avalanche danger does not change significantly.
Danger level

Persistent weak layer
1800m
Note the persistent weak layer
The avalanche risk is low. Medium-sized slab avalanches can still be triggered in a few hard-to-recognise places, especially in the extended northern sector above 1800 m, but usually only with a large additional load. This is in particular at the transitions from little to more snow. With the southerly foehn, small pillows of wind drifted snow formed on shady slopes, which are temporarily still prone to triggering.
