The fresh snow and the often large wind slabs can be released easily or naturally above approximately 1800 m.

The fresh snow and the often large wind slabs can be released easily or naturally above approximately 1800 m.

Caution is to be exercised on wind-loaded slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Dry slab avalanches are possible. Avalanches can be released in near-ground layers by small loads. Sometimes the avalanches are large.

The moderate wind will transport the new snow. New snow and wind slabs are lying mostly on old snow containing large grains. The avalanche-prone wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 1500 m. Avalanches can be released by small loads.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.
