Stability: fair · Frequency: some
The strong wind has transported the new snow significantly. The wind slabs represent the main danger.
The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. In addition the wind slabs at the base of rock walls are prone to triggering in many places. Avalanches can be released, in particular by large loads.
Over a wide area snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The fresh wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers in particular on steep shady slopes.
As a consequence of the wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form during the next few days.
