Wind slabs require caution. A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.

Wind slabs require caution. A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.

More recent wind slabs can be released in isolated cases on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Avalanches can in isolated cases reach medium size. On steep grassy slopes individual medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. As the moisture increases moist loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small.

Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on northwest to north to east facing aspects. They are in isolated cases prone to triggering. No distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to moistening of the snowpack on slopes below approximately 2000 m, this also applies on steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. At low altitude only a little snow is now lying.

The weather conditions will bring about a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. They are now only very rarely prone to triggering. A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.
