Moderate avalanche danger will be encountered in some regions.

Moderate avalanche danger will be encountered in some regions.

As a consequence of new snow and wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in some places. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep slopes, in particular in areas close to the tree line, and above the tree line. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The mostly small wind slabs are to be bypassed in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling. They are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.

5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from northeasterly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed. In some places wind slabs are lying on soft layers. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.
