The avalanche risk is moderate above 2000 metres and low below. 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. Only in shady high areas does floating snow still weaken the snow layering. Older wind slabs can be found on the surface in places.
Tendency
Saturday will bring clouds with some new fallen snow. The avalanche danger will hardly change.

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, isolated pillows of wind drifted snow can be triggered by individuals as small slab avalanches. Avalanche prone locations are areas adjacent to ridgelines and entrances to gullies and bowls.
Snowpack
The snow base, fundament is largely stable. Older wind slabs can be found on the surface on a small scale. Only in shady high altitudes is the snow layering still weakened by isolated floating snow.
Tendency
Saturday will bring clouds with some new fallen snow. The avalanche risk will change only slightly.

Low avalanche danger, but individual avalanche prone locations due to wind slab!
The avalanche risk is generally low. Nevertheless, there are individual avalanche prone locations, in particular adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in entrances to steep, shady gullies and bowls where medium-sized slab avalanches can be triggered by individuals.
Snowpack
The snow base, fundament is largely stable. On the surface, there is older wind slab in places, which is usually well bonded to the snow base, fundament. Only in shady high altitudes does floating snow weaken the snow layering.
Tendency
Saturday will bring clouds with some new fallen snow. The avalanche danger will hardly change.
