New snow
Wind slabs represent the main danger.
The more recent wind slabs can be released easily in many places in all aspects and above the tree line. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and in the southeastern half of Aran. Mostly the avalanches in these regions are small. In some places dry avalanches can also be triggered in the old snowpack and reach medium size in particular on steep, little used shady slopes. On wind-protected shady slopes dry loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small.
Individual gliding avalanches can also occur. Sometimes these are medium-sized.

Snowpack
>As a consequence of the moderate northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed during the last three days. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on old snow containing large grains. As a consequence of the moderate to strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form during the next few days. In its middle, the snowpack is favourably layered.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience and restraint.

Tendency
The danger of dry avalanches will persist.
