New snow
2000m
New snow and wind slabs require caution. The conditions are dangerous for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities in steep terrain.
Fresh wind slabs are in some cases extensive and prone to triggering. They are to be found adjacent to ridgelines on southeast, south and southwest facing slopes and at high altitudes. Backcountry tourers or freeriders can release avalanches very easily, including medium-sized ones.
The fresh snow and in particular the sometimes deep wind slabs can be released easily or naturally on southeast to south to southwest facing aspects. In particular on very steep slopes small and medium-sized dry avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of the new snow. This snow can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above approximately 1800 m.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for caution and restraint.

Snowpack
>
Over a wide area 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since yesterday above approximately 2000 m. 10 to 15 cm of snow will fall until the evening above approximately 1500 m. The northeasterly wind will transport the new snow. The wind will be moderate to strong adjacent to ridgelines in particular in the south. The fresh snow as well as the wind slabs are lying on the quite favourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects.
Tendency
During the course of the night as a consequence of new snow and stormy weather there will be a significant increase in the danger of dry avalanches to level 3 (considerable).
