The mostly small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence.

The mostly small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence.

The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations over a wide area. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls at elevated altitudes. The wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. In particular on steep slopes individual avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

The wind slabs are lying on weak layers. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. The weather will be partly cloudy. The weather conditions will give rise to moistening of the snowpack.

The weather will be sunny.
