The conditions are precarious for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities.

Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack represent the main danger. The avalanche danger above the tree line is within the uppermost range of danger level 3 (considerable). In addition the wind slabs should be taken into account.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released even easily by individual winter sport participants. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. Avalanches can penetrate down to the ground and reach large size. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and natural avalanches serve as an alarm indicating the danger. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. In addition the wind slabs in all aspects are prone to triggering in many locations.

Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies especially on west, north and east facing slopes. The snowpack remains generally prone to triggering. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced over a wide area. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. Some snow will fall on Wednesday over a wide area.

The avalanche danger will persist. Above the tree line a treacherous avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area.
