Fresh wind slabs require caution.
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
The fresh wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
5 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Thursday. In isolated cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers, in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is now lying.
Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the snowfall.
