Stability: poor · Frequency: few
Wind slabs require caution.
The wind slabs can be released in isolated cases, especially at their margins. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are small.
The wind slabs are lying on soft layers. The old snowpack will be quite stable.
5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. On Wednesday as a consequence of the strong southwesterly wind there will be only a slight increase in the danger of dry avalanches. The fresh wind slabs remain prone to triggering.
