The soft wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on steep shady slopes at high altitude. In many cases avalanches are medium-sized and can be released easily even by a single winter sport participant. On steep grassy slopes many moist snow slides are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. In very isolated cases the gliding avalanches are large.
Over a wide area over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 1500 m. As a consequence of the moderate to strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.
The fresh wind slabs remain prone to triggering at elevated altitudes.
