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

Outside marked and open pistes a very precarious avalanche situation will prevail.

The fresh snow as well as the widespread wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. Avalanches can be released easily and reach medium size. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. The avalanche prone locations are widespread and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Caution is to be exercised in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and natural avalanches serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Field observations and avalanches triggered by explosives confirm the unfavourable bonding of the snowpack. Caution and restraint are recommended.

The new snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies especially on west, north and east facing slopes.

Avalanches can as before be released, even by a single winter sport participant. The snowpack remains prone to triggering.
