The older wind slabs will be covered with new snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise.

5 to 15 cm of snow, and up to 20 cm in some localities, will fall on Wednesday above approximately 1200 m. The older wind slabs will be covered with new snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying. Watch out for the numerous rocks hidden by the recent snow.

In all aspects thus far only a little snow is lying in all altitude zones. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially on steep shady slopes at intermediate and high altitudes. The new snow will be deposited on a crust on sunny slopes and at low and intermediate altitudes.
