The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line and low below. The main danger is fresh wind slabs in the north, east and south aspects. Adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in entrances to steep gullies and bowls, smaller slab avalanches can sometimes be triggered by individuals. Medium-sized avalanches are also possible in the northern sector.
Snowpack
The snow base, fundament is largely stable and isothermal. Only in shady high altitudes does floating snow weaken the snow layering. Fresh wind slabs are forming on the surface, some of which contain weak layers.
Tendency
Hardly any more showers on Wednesday, but still windy and rather cool. Thursday will bring mostly sunny weather. Hardly any change in the avalanche danger.

Low avalanche danger, but still isolated avalanche prone locations due to fresh pillows of wind drifted snow!
The avalanche risk is low. Nevertheless, above the tree line, fresh pillows of wind drifted snow can occasionally be triggered by individuals as small slab avalanches. Avalanche prone locations are adjacent to ridgelines and entrances to gullies and bowls, primarily in the north, east and south sectors.
