Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Fresh wind slabs require caution, in particular at elevated altitudes. Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in the old snowpack. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. They are very rare. 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.

Shady slopes above approximately 2600 m: The mostly small wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. All aspects below approximately 2600 m: The snowpack is largely stable and its surface has a crust. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Less snow than usual is lying in all altitude zones.

Low avalanche danger will prevail.
