Stability: poor · Frequency: some
Wind slabs represent the main danger.
The more recent wind slabs represent the main danger. Avalanches can penetrate down to the ground and reach medium size, caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.
The sometimes storm force wind has transported the new snow significantly. As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from northerly directions, sometimes large wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects and generally above the tree line.
Wednesday: The avalanche danger will persist.
