More new fallen snow than expected. Watch out for fresh wind slab in the higher elevations!
The avalanche risk is moderate at higher altitudes, partly above the tree line. Adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in steep bowls and gullies, snowdrift accumulations in steep terrain can still be triggered as small to rarely medium slab avalanches, in some cases due to low additional loads. In the steep terrain on shady slopes, slab avalanches could still be triggered locally due to the problem of old 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.
