The older wind slabs are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 2 (moderate): As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind from northwesterly directions, small wind slabs will form at elevated altitudes. They can be released in isolated cases. Only isolated gliding avalanches are possible, in particular on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.

Some snow fell on Thursday, in particular in the north. Over a wide area strong northwesterly wind above the tree line. The snowpack will be in most cases stable. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations above the tree line. Intermediate and high altitudes: Early and late morning: The old snowpack is moist and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight moistening of the snowpack in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

The avalanche conditions are favourable over a wide area. The wind will be strong in some cases.
