As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed since Sunday in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Wind slabs are in many cases small but can in some cases be released easily especially at their margins. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The wind slabs are to be avoided whenever possible.
In all altitude zones only a little snow is lying. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Faceted weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes.
