Stability: poor · Frequency: few
Wind slabs represent the main danger.
The more recent wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant. 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.
More recent wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack above the tree line. The spring-like weather conditions on Wednesday gave rise to moistening of the snowpack. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint.
As a consequence of mild temperatures and the moderate to strong northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form on Friday.
