Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m.

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate southerly wind, small wind slabs formed on Tuesday. These are lying on weak layers in particular on shady slopes. Especially on very steep slopes the avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow. Mostly they are small and can be released in isolated cases by a single winter sport participant, in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Light snowfall above approximately 1500 m: Little snow will fall. 10 to 20 cm of snow, but less in some localities, fell on Tuesday above approximately 1200 m. Large-grained weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes. In all altitude zones thus far only a little snow is lying. At intermediate and high altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The numerous rocks hidden by the recent snow are the main danger.

Until Monday the weather will be very cloudy. Wind and new snow above approximately 1200 m: Some snow will fall.
