The fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence and generally at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.

The wind slabs of last week must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on north to east to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2200 m, in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.

From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying, especially at low and intermediate altitudes. Snow depths vary greatly at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, depending on the infuence of the wind.
