The sometimes storm force wind has transported a lot of snow. As a consequence of the strong northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed during the last few days. They are to be found in particular between approximately 1900 and 2300 m. In addition the hard wind slabs of the last few days in pass areas in all aspects and generally at elevated altitudes are capable of being triggered now as before. This applies in particular in case of a large load. In particular intermediate altitudes as well as in places that are protected from the wind: The soft wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases.
