The small wind slabs of the last few days can be released in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation the snow drift accumulations stabilised. The snowpack will be generally stable. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations above the tree line.
The conditions are generally favourable.
