More new fallen snow than expected. Watch out for fresh wind slab in the higher elevations!
The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line. Especially at higher altitudes, there are avalanche prone locations in many aspects due to prone to triggering snowdrift accumulations. Slab avalanches can be triggered in places by even a small additional load and can sometimes reach medium size. In the steep terrain on shady slopes at high altitudes, there are still localised avalanche prone locations due to the problem of old snow. Occasional slab avalanches can still be triggered, especially in transitions from more to less snow.
Snowpack
Due to repeated snowfall in recent days and strong winds from different directions, there are prone to triggering snowdrift accumulations that do not bind sufficiently with the old snowpack. Settlement is progressing slowly. The old snowpack has settled, is moist up to high altitudes and is crusted can form on the surface and hard in places. The snow base, fundament is high and partly weakened on shady slopes. Low and widespread middle elevations are often bare or have very little snow.
Tendency
Despite some new fallen snow, the avalanche situation hardly changes.

Pay attention to local avalanche prone locations in exposed terrain!
The avalanche risk is predominantly low. Nevertheless, there are localised avalanche prone locations at higher altitudes in many aspects due to prone to triggering snowdrift accumulations. Slab avalanches can be triggered in places by even a small additional load. There are still localised avalanche prone locations on shady slopes at high altitudes due to the problem of old snow. Occasional slab avalanches can still be triggered, especially in transitions from more to less snow.
Snowpack
Due to repeated snowfall in the last few days and strong winds from different directions, there are prone to triggering snowdrift accumulations locally, which do not bind sufficiently with the old snowpack. Settlement is progressing slowly. The old snowpack has settled, is moist up to high altitudes and is crusted can form on the surface and hard in places.
