Moderate avalanche danger, but still a wind slab problem!
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. On the surface, there is fresh wind slab in places, some of which contains weak layers. Only in shady high altitudes does floating snow still weaken the snow layering.
Tendency
On Friday, sun and clouds will alternate with a moderate northerly wind. The wind slab problem subsides.

Fresh wind slab in the high altitudes!
The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line and low below. The main danger is fresh wind slab, mainly in the south to west aspects. Medium-sized slab avalanches can sometimes be triggered by individuals on slopes that have been blown in, in particular adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in entrances to steep gullies and bowls.

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.
Snowpack
The snow base, fundament is largely stable. There is fresh wind slab on the surface on a small scale. Only in shady high altitudes is the snow layering still weakened by isolated floating snow.
Tendency
On Friday, sun and clouds will alternate with a moderate northerly wind. The avalanche risk remains low.
