Stability: poor · Frequency: few
Wind slabs represent the main danger.
The more recent wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are small.
Wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack above the tree line.
As a consequence of mild temperatures and the strong to storm force northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form on Thursday.
