Stability: very poor · Frequency: few
The various wind slabs have bonded quite well with each other and the old snowpack. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack above approximately 2200 m.
Wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Gliding snow requires caution.
Gliding avalanches are possible. The more recent wind slabs are easy to recognise can only be released in isolated cases.
On steep grassy slopes individual gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. The more recent wind slabs can be released in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines at elevated altitudes. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases.
