Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2000m.
Danger description
As a consequence of westerly wind, wind slabs formed during the night in particular adjacent to ridgelines on north and east facing slopes. These are to be avoided in steep terrain.
The new snow of the last few days is in some cases still prone to triggering. Snow sport participants can release avalanches in some places. These can in very isolated cases reach large size. Careful route selection is recommended.
Gliding avalanches
On steep grassy slopes small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible in particular at intermediate altitudes. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.
