Wind slabs require caution. Wet snow is to be evaluated critically.
The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are to be assessed with care and prudence. The danger of moist avalanches will increase a little during the day. Mostly avalanches are small but can be released easily even by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls above the tree line.
Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack.
The avalanche danger will persist.
