Wind slabs represent the main danger.
The new snow-covered wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, on north to east to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. These are mostly small. <br/>
Adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In some localities up to 5 cm of snow has fallen since the late morning above approximately 1800 m. <br/> High altitudes and shady slopes: The upper section of the snowpack is largely stable; its surface is loosely bonded and consists of surface hoar and faceted crystals. Wind slabs are lying on a hard crust. Stability tests and field observations confirm the favourable bonding of the snowpack adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects. <br/> Low and intermediate altitudes: The snowpack is largely stable. The surface of the snowpack is hardly frozen at all and will already soften in the late morning. <br/> Backcountry touring calls for caution and restraint.
The avalanche danger will persist.
