In particular in the western Prealps and in the western and central parts of the main Alpine ridge new snow.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines above approximately 2000 m and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Wind-loaded slopes where surface hoar has been covered with snow are unfavourable.

The snowpack will become in some cases unfavourable. In the course of the day visible wind slabs will form especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Also shady slopes where weaknesses exist in the old snowpack are dangerous. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger.
