The amount of snow is subject to significant local variations. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

More recent wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in all aspects above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found also in areas close to the tree line. In regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 3 (considerable) the avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Mostly avalanches are rather small. In the south the avalanche situation is more favourable. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are easy to recognise.

Little snow will fall. The wind will be storm force. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers at elevated altitudes. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Fresh wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence.
