As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong to storm force wind from northwesterly directions, extensive wind slabs will form. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches easily, including dangerously large ones. This applies in all aspects also in all altitude zones. At elevated altitudes avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released easily, in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack.

On very steep west, north and east facing slopes the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Remotely triggered avalanches are to be expected.

Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and a certain restraint. Since Sunday, 30 December extensive wind slabs formed in particular above the tree line. The fresh wind slabs are lying on weak layers. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies in all aspects especially above the tree line as well as adjacent to ridgelines. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.
