The extensive wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant and reach dangerously large size. At elevated altitudes the likelihood of avalanches being released is greater. The clearly visible wind slabs are to be avoided whenever possible. On extremely steep sunny slopes medium-sized loose snow avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. In addition a substantial danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies on steep grassy slopes in all aspects in particular below approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. The weather will be very mild. The weather conditions will bring about a slow stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from westerly directions, further wind slabs will form adjacent to ridgelines. Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Towards its base, the snowpack is well consolidated. The snowpack will be moist below approximately 2000 m. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to gradual moistening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes. As a consequence of warming there will be an additional decrease in the danger of dry avalanches. Fresh wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Gliding avalanches are to be expected.

Gliding avalanches require caution. The fresh wind slabs are prone to triggering above approximately 2400 m. They can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas, as well as in gullies and bowls. At elevated altitudes the likelihood of avalanches is a little higher. Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate deep layers and reach large size, especially on steep, rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more frequent loose snow avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses. In addition a certain danger of gliding avalanches exists, especially on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2400 m in the regions with a lot of snow. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. Over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow, and up to 50 cm in some localities, fell on Friday above approximately 1500 m. The storm force wind has transported the new snow significantly. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Low and intermediate altitudes: The snowpack is moist. Slight decrease in danger of dry avalanches.
