As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed since Sunday in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Wind slabs are in many cases small but can in some cases be released easily especially at their margins. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The wind slabs are to be avoided whenever possible.
