From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. The avalanche prone locations are rare.

Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released, in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are only small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Some snow will fall in some localities. Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. Hard wind slabs are lying on soft layers at elevated altitudes. Steep sunny slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from westerly directions, small wind slabs formed in the last few days in isolated cases. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of the new snow. Over a wide area up to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The sometimes storm force wind will transport the new snow. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
