Low avalanche danger will be encountered over a wide area.

Low avalanche danger will be encountered over a wide area.

The fresh wind slabs can in very isolated cases be released, even by a single winter sport participant, especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. In very isolated cases dry avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in little used terrain above approximately 2400 m, especially on very steep shady slopes. Mostly avalanches are small. Only isolated gliding avalanches are possible.

Some snow has fallen in some localities, especially in the north. As a consequence of a moderate to strong northwesterly wind, clearly visible wind slabs formed. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day, especially at intermediate altitudes. The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations. Within the snowpack, there are multiple melt-freeze crusts sandwiches with faceted layers in between, in particular on steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying.

Some snow will fall on Thursday. Hardly any increase in avalanche danger.
