Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches.

Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches.

The wind slabs of the last few days can be released by a single winter sport participant in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. More recent wind slabs are to be avoided in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling, also adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In particular on sunny slopes and on southwest, south and southeast facing slopes mostly small moist and wet avalanches are possible.

The mostly small wind slabs of the last few days are in individual cases still prone to triggering. Above approximately 2000 m snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In all regions below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying on south facing slopes. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack.

On Saturday it will be mild. Gradual increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches from the middle of the day.
