Stability: poor · Frequency: some
New snow and wind slabs above approximately 2000 m. In addition the wind slabs in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain are capable of being triggered. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes.
As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. On steep shady slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain slab avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones.
The snowpack will become in most cases subject to considerable local variations. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with the old snowpack.
