Wind slabs require caution.

The fresh and older wind slabs represent the main danger. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible.
In the regions with a lot of snow gliding avalanches are possible, even quite large ones. This applies in particular at low and intermediate altitudes.
The conditions are precarious for snow sport activities. Caution and restraint are recommended.

Snowpack

dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.2: gliding snow

Over a wide area over a wide area 10 to 30 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1000 m. The strong wind has transported the new snow. In some places wind slabs are lying on soft layers. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. This applies in particular at low and intermediate altitudes.
In its middle, the snowpack is unfavourably layered. Towards its base, the snowpack is largely stable.

Tendency

A precarious avalanche situation will persist.
