Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection. The danger of dry and wet avalanches will increase during the day. As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong to storm force northerly wind, easily released wind slabs formed in all aspects. The fresh wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. Weak layers deep in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will soften earlier than the day before, especially on steep sunny slopes.

In highly frequented off-piste terrain and on popular backcountry touring routes the avalanche situation is a little more favourable. The conditions are quite favourable for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities. A clear night will be followed by quite favourable conditions generally, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later. The strong wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. The fresh and older wind slabs are to be avoided as far as possible. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular in shady places that are protected from the wind. The surface of the snowpack will freeze, but a strong crust will not form.
