At elevated altitudes a dangerous avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects at elevated altitudes.

At elevated altitudes a dangerous avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects at elevated altitudes.

The wind slabs can be released even by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. They must be evaluated with care and prudence. Whumpfing sounds serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. On steep slopes and in gullies and bowls the avalanche situation is unfavourable. Avalanches can also be triggered in the old snowpack and reach large size. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing consolidation of the snowpack over a wide area in particular on sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes. Natural avalanches are possible in particular in steep rocky terrain.

The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.
