Wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant above the tree line. Avalanches can also penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size on west, north and east facing slopes. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. Very isolated medium-sized natural avalanches are not entirely ruled out. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation mostly small moist loose snow avalanches are possible.
30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. Above the tree line: The strong wind will transport the new snow. Somewhat older wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places. Further wind slabs will form. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to moistening of the snowpack.
The snowpack remains prone to triggering at elevated altitudes. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist avalanches being released will increase.
