Stability: poor · Frequency: few
Especially on wind-loaded slopes natural avalanches must be expected in isolated cases. In extremely steep terrain these avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.

The wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. The wind slabs have formed in gullies and bowls in all aspects and generally at high altitudes. On very steep slopes individual small avalanches occurred naturally.
The near-surface layers of the snowpack can be released over a wide area by individual winter sport participants especially on wind-loaded slopes.
The conditions remain mostly favourable.
