The conditions are generally favourable. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

The conditions are generally favourable. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

As a consequence of snowfall and the strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed. The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases. At high altitude these avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. These avalanche prone locations are easy to recognise. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 2200 m.

Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. The fresh wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack at elevated altitudes. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. In particular at low and intermediate altitudes a little snow is lying.

Fresh wind slabs require caution. The avalanche danger will persist.
