Stability: poor · Frequency: few
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
The fresh wind slabs can in isolated cases be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line. They are easy to recognise. On steep grassy slopes only isolated mostly small gliding avalanches are possible.
Up to 10 cm of snow will fall. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.
The fresh wind slabs of Wednesday remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line.
