Stability: very poor · Frequency: few
A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.
Individual gliding avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones. This applies on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. At elevated altitudes small wind slabs will form. They can be released in isolated cases. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m.
The sometimes strong wind will transport only a little snow. The snowpack is largely stable.
Slight increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of new snow and wind. The danger of gliding avalanches will persist.
