Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in southwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2600m.
Danger description
As a consequence of a moderate to strong southwesterly wind, wind slabs will form especially in high Alpine regions. In addition the wind slabs of the last few days are capable of being triggered in some cases still. Avalanches can in some places be released by people. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Caution is to be exercised especially in high Alpine regions.
Careful route selection is recommended.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
In all aspects and below approximately 2400 m wet and gliding avalanches are possible as a consequence of the rain. From starting zones where no previous releases have taken place in particular on north and east facing slopes these can in isolated cases reach large size.
Remarks
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.
