Stability: poor · Frequency: few
Wind slabs require caution. This applies on extremely steep slopes in the vicinity of peaks.
As a consequence of new snow and a moderate wind, small wind slabs will form adjacent to ridgelines. As a consequence of the new snow loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small. In many places there is a danger of falling on the icy crust. In all regions from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.
Over a wide area 5 to 25 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1000 m. In some localities up to 10 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1000 m. The fresh wind slabs will form adjacent to ridgelines. In some places new snow is lying on an icy crust.
