Wind slabs at elevated altitudes.

Wind slabs at elevated altitudes.

The fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in very steep terrain, in particular on very steep shady slopes at high altitude. 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. Slight increase in danger of wet snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

Some snow has fallen since Sunday in some regions, especially at high altitude. The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to rapid moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.

Low avalanche danger will prevail. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
