The wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. These can be released, even by small loads in isolated cases. At high altitude and on wind-loaded slopes the likelihood of avalanches is higher.
The sometimes avalanche-prone wind slabs of last week are poorly bonded with the old snowpack. Low and intermediate altitudes, sunny slopes: The snowpack is largely stable and its surface has a melt-freeze crust.
