From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. The avalanche prone locations are rare.

The hard wind slabs can still be released in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are only small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Hard wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The weather conditions will foster a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight softening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

The hard wind slabs can only be released in isolated cases.
