The fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.
The more recent wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, especially on very steep shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines above approximately 2200 m. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
Avalanches can additionally in isolated cases be released in the weakly bonded old snow, in particular by large additional loads, especially at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. These avalanche prone locations are rather rare. Slight increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. This applies especially in case of releases originating from very steep sunny starting zones.
Gliding avalanches can also occur at any time. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.7: snow-poor zones in snow-rich surrounding
The sometimes avalanche-prone wind slabs of the last few days are lying on unfavourable layers in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack. As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust will form on the surface during the night, in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m.
Tendency
The weather conditions will bring about a slow stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations.

Avalanche Problem
Wind slabs require caution.
The moderate wind has transported some snow. The small wind slabs can be released in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Slopes adjacent to ridgelines are unfavourable. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude.
Dry avalanches can additionally in very isolated cases be released in the weakly bonded old snow, in particular by large additional loads, especially at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example on very steep slopes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2000 m.
Individual gliding avalanches can also occur.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.7: snow-poor zones in snow-rich surrounding
The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m.
Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack, especially between approximately 2000 and 2400 m on steep west, north and east facing slopes.
Tendency
The weather conditions will bring about a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations.

Avalanche Problem
Wind slabs require caution.
The fresh wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering on steep shady slopes above approximately 1800 m. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The avalanches are only small.
Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases and mostly by large additional loads, especially at high altitude in the Western Kitzbühel Alps.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
The moderate wind will transport the snow. The small wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes above approximately 1800 m. As a consequence of rising temperatures the snow drift accumulations will stabilise during the next few days. Individual weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack. At low altitude a little snow is lying.
Tendency
The weather conditions will bring about a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations.
