New snow and wind slabs require caution. During the day:

During the day: The new snow represents the main danger. Can be released easily, or, in isolated cases, naturally in all aspects above the tree line. As a consequence of the strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed. At high altitude these avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in shady places that are protected from the wind and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.

Afternoon: Over a wide area over a wide area 20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1500 m. Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. The fresh wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack in all aspects and above the tree line. At low altitude only a little snow is lying.

New snow and wind slabs require caution. The avalanche danger will increase.
