Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. The somewhat older wind slabs of the last few days have settled a little. They can in some places be released, in particular by large loads and reach medium size. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and on steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. At elevated altitudes avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent. Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in isolated cases. This applies in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack especially between approximately 2200 and 2700 m.The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs of the last few days have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. They remain in some cases prone to triggering in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack, in particular between approximately 2200 and 2700 m. There is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is greater. These avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack and reach dangerously large size. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Maintaining distances between individuals is recommended.The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The somewhat older wind slabs have settled a little. In some places various wind slab layers are lying on old snow containing large grains. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes.
