The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering. They can be released by a single winter sport participant. This also applies at a distance from ridgelines. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Individual moist snow slides are possible, in the event of solar radiation especially on extremely steep sunny slopes.
Hardly any snow is lying. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.
The avalanche danger will persist.
