Winter sport participants can release avalanches now only rarely.
The fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in the weakly bonded old snow at high altitude. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. They are very rare but are difficult to recognise.
In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
In some cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers, especially on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.
In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack, in particular on steep shady slopes at high altitude.
The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to slight moistening of the snowpack in some cases, in particular at intermediate and high altitudes.
Low avalanche danger will persist. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
