Treeline
Gliding snow requires caution. Wind slabs at elevated altitudes.
Very steep grassy slopes: Gliding avalanches require caution. Sometimes Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" are medium-sized. They can be released at any time of day or night.
As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes moderate southeasterly wind, mostly shallow wind slabs formed in the last few days especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. These can be released by people, but they will be small in most cases. The somewhat older wind slabs are in isolated cases deep and can be released by large loads in particular.
In particular steep sunny slopes: As the moisture increases more moist snow slides are possible, but they will be mostly small.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for meticulous route selection.

Snowpack
>
The new snow of the last few days has settled a little in all aspects. The snowpack is fairly homogeneous; its surface is loosely bonded and consists of surface hoar and faceted crystals. At intermediate and high altitudes there are 50 to 100 cm of snow. In particular at high altitude snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Saturday: Until midday the weather will be sunny at times. Some snow will fall during the night.
Tendency
Sunday: Gradual increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of new snow and wind. The danger of gliding avalanches will not decrease for the time being.
