The new snow can be released easily or naturally. In particular on steep slopes large natural avalanches, capable of reaching a long way in some cases, must be expected frequently. In some places the avalanches can be triggered in the old snow. In gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain avalanche prone wind slabs formed. This applies in particular on slopes at elevated altitudes. As the snowfall becomes more intense the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase in the afternoon. It is inadvisable to engage in backcountry touring.

Over a wide area 60 to 100 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Monday above approximately 1500 m. In the course of the day further wind slabs will form at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall from the afternoon above approximately 600 m.
