Stability: very poor · Frequency: some
The old snowpack is wet, in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of rising temperatures the snow drift accumulations stabilised. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers on shady slopes.
Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and strong wind.
Gliding snow represents the main danger.
As a consequence of warming more medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep grassy slopes. The older wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering on steep shady slopes. Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at high altitude. The wind will be moderate to strong. Fresh wind slabs will form in particular adjacent to ridgelines on north facing slopes.
