More new fallen snow than expected. Watch out for fresh wind slab in the higher elevations!
The avalanche risk is moderate at high altitudes. In the high altitudes, there is fresh wind slab due to new fallen snow and wind influence in exposed areas, which must be observed in steep terrain. Slab avalanches can be triggered in places by small additional loads. Due to the local old snow problem, attention must still be paid to steep terrain on shady slopes at high altitudes and transitions from little to more snow. Only isolated slab avalanches can still be triggered here by large additional loads.
Snowpack
Depending on the altitude and aspect, the snowpack is differently developed on the surface, partly crusted, partly less stabilised and often moist up to high altitudes in the interior and wet towards the ground. The snow base, fundament remains high and weakened on shady slopes. Low and widespread middle elevations are bare, in some places there is only a little snow.

Tendency
Despite some new fallen snow, the avalanche situation hardly changes.

Pay attention to fresh wind slab in exposed higher altitudes!
The avalanche risk is predominantly low. In the high altitudes, there is fresh wind slab due to new fallen snow and wind influence in exposed locations, which must be observed in steep terrain and can easily be addressed locally. Due to the local old snow problem, steep terrain on shady slopes in the high altitudes and transitions from little to more snow must still be observed. Only isolated slab avalanches can still be triggered here by large additional loads.
Snowpack
Due to moderate to sometimes strong winds in the exposed high altitudes and new fallen snow, fresh snowdrift accumulations prone to triggering can form. Depending on the altitude and aspect, the old snowpack varies on the surface, sometimes hard, crusted, sometimes less stabilised and often moist up to high altitudes and wet towards the ground. The snow base, fundament is high and partly weakened on shady slopes. Low and widespread middle elevations are bare, in some places there is only a little snow.
