The fresh wind slabs are prone to triggering. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint.

Single winter sport participants can release avalanches, especially on wind-loaded slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Caution is to be exercised in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as adjacent to ridgelines. Mostly the avalanches are small. Even a small avalanche can sweep winter sport participants along and give rise to falls.

New snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places. As a consequence of a moderate to strong southwesterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form. The old snowpack will be unstable in some places, especially on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. Up to 5 cm of snow will fall in the evening. A little snow is lying.

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.
