In some regions 5 to 40 cm of snow fell on Wednesday above approximately 1600 m. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on wind-protected shady slopes. The conditions will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. The old snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.
As a consequence of the strong northerly foehn wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form.
