Gliding snow requires caution. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
On steep grassy slopes mostly small gliding avalanches are possible, in particular below approximately 2600 m. The fresh wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering on very steep shady slopes above the tree line. Avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude.
The sometimes strong wind has transported the new snow. In some cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers, in particular on shady slopes above the tree line.
The wind slabs can be released in isolated cases. In addition gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are possible.
