Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger.

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger.

Some fresh snow and in particular the sometimes deep wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects and above the tree line. The fresh wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. These can be released easily by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in all aspects. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. They are to be avoided.

The soft wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack above the tree line. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Towards its base, the snowpack is largely stable.

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Wednesday above approximately 1300 m. The wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence.
