Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
In particular at elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Sunshine and high temperatures gave rise to consolidation of the snowpack at low and intermediate altitudes. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying.
The avalanche danger will persist.
Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
The wind slabs represent the main danger. Avalanches can in isolated cases be released by small loads and reach medium size. This applies in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.
