New snow and wind slabs require caution. Natural avalanches as the day progresses.
As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes storm force northerly wind, further wind slabs formed in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These can be released even by a single winter sport participant, in particular adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects above the tree line. Caution is to be exercised in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. In isolated cases avalanches are large. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger. <br/> More frequent gliding avalanches are to be expected, especially on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. As a consequence of solar radiation numerous loose snow avalanches are to be expected, especially on rocky sunny slopes. As a consequence of solar radiation individual slab avalanches are possible as the day progresses, in particular medium-sized ones. This applies on near-ridge sunny slopes.
In some localities up to 10 cm of snow will fall until midday. <br/> Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in all aspects above the tree line. The wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack, in particular on shady slopes. Field observations and released avalanches confirm this situation. <br/> The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain a lot of snow is lying. <br/> The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area.
The avalanche danger will decrease gradually. Gliding snow requires caution.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of a strong northerly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Caution is to be exercised on steep slopes in all aspects above the tree line. In some cases avalanches are large and can be released even by a single winter sport participant. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. They are sometimes covered with new snow and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. <br/> Individual loose snow avalanches are possible, in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes. Individual gliding avalanches can also occur. This applies in particular in the regions with a lot of snow on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m. <br/> In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in all aspects above the tree line. The wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack, in particular on shady slopes. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and released avalanches confirm this situation. <br/> The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain a lot of snow is lying. <br/> The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area.
The weather conditions will foster a gradual decrease in the avalanche danger. Wind slabs require caution.

The more recent wind slabs represent the main danger.
The sometimes avalanche-prone wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on west to north to east facing aspects, caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, as well as adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Here the likelihood of avalanches is higher. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. <br/> In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.
The strong wind will transport the loosely bonded old snow. The wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack, especially on steep, little used shady slopes. <br/> The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain a lot of snow is lying. <br/> The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area.
The avalanche danger will decrease gradually. Wind slabs require caution.

The more recent wind slabs represent the main danger.
The sometimes avalanche-prone wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, in particular on west to north to east facing aspects, caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes, and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are small. The avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. <br/> In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.
The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area. The mostly small wind slabs of the last few days are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack, especially on near-ridge shady slopes. <br/> Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. On sunny slopes and below the tree line thus far only a little snow is lying.
The avalanche danger will persist. Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
