Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

The fresh and older wind slabs can still be released in some cases especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases. On rocky sunny slopes individual mostly small loose snow avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on near-ridge shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. Low and intermediate altitudes: The snowpack is moist.

The meteorological conditions will facilitate a gradual change towards better conditions. A quite favourable avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area.
