Wind slabs require caution.
In particular on wind-loaded slopes avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in some cases. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are possible. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small moist loose snow avalanches are possible. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.
20 to 40 cm of snow has fallen. The strong wind will transport the new snow. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes.
Increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming.
