New snow and wind slabs: The conditions are treacherous for backcountry touring outside marked and open pistes.
Wind slabs on east, south and west facing slopes. New snow in shady places that are protected from the wind.
The wind was moderate in the vicinity of peaks. As a consequence of the northerly wind the wind slabs have increased in size substantially. The fresh wind slabs can be released easily by a single winter sport participant in particular on east to south to west facing aspects and at intermediate and high altitudes. In isolated cases the avalanches in these loacations are medium-sized.
The new snow of the last few days can be released by a single winter sport participant on extremely steep shady slopes. The avalanches are only small.

>Over a wide area wind slabs are lying on a hard crust. At the southern and eastern borders of Aran as well as at high altitude snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and caution.
