The fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.
Soft wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack. They can be released even by a single winter sport participant above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can in some cases be triggered in the old snowpack reach quite a large size in particular on steep shady slopes.
As a consequence of a strong wind from westerly directions, large wind slabs formed in all aspects. In its middle, the snowpack is largely stable. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted and weak.
The avalanche danger will persist.
