Fresh wind slabs on south, southeast and southwest facing slopes.

Fresh wind slabs on south, southeast and southwest facing slopes.

Adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and on steep southeast, south and southwest facing slopes slab avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. Avalanches can be released, mostly by large loads.

The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The strong wind has transported a lot of snow. The fresh wind slabs are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In particular on southeast, south and southwest facing slopes sometimes deep wind slabs formed. In some places wind slabs are lying on a moist old snowpack. The meteorological conditions will cause a slow strengthening of the snowpack in particular at high altitude.
