Wind slabs require caution. Gradual increase in danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

More recent wind slabs can be released in isolated cases on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Avalanches can in isolated cases reach medium size. On steep grassy slopes individual medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2600 m. In the course of the day the activity of gliding avalanches will gradually increase. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are to be expected, especially on extremely steep sunny slopes.

Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on northwest to north to east facing aspects. They are in isolated cases prone to triggering. No distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to significant softening of the snowpack in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes. At low altitude only a little snow is now lying.

The weather conditions will bring about a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. They are now only very rarely prone to triggering. A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.
