Gliding snow
- Above 2,000 m
Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. As a consequence of warming during the day medium-sized to large natural avalanches are possible above approximately 1500 m.

Over a wide area 40 cm of snow, and up to 60 cm in some localities, has fallen above approximately 1500 m. As a consequence of new snow and wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in all aspects. The new snow and wind slabs can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant, above approximately 1800 m. Temporary safety measures may be necessary in some localities.
The wind slabs represent the main danger. New snow requires caution. Field observations confirm that the stability of the snowpack varies greatly within a small area.
