Wind slabs require caution. A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.
More recent wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases on northwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. Avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Avalanches can in isolated cases reach medium size.
On steep grassy slopes individual medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2600 m, especially in the regions with a lot of snow in the north. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
On extreme sunny slopes individual loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.2: gliding snow
As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from northwesterly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form on Tuesday adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas.
Fresh wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering on northwest to north to southeast facing aspects. The older wind slabs of last week have bonded well with the old snowpack. No distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. The solar radiation will give rise to slight moistening of the snowpack on sunny slopes.
Intermediate altitudes: The snowpack will be moist. At low altitude only a little snow is now lying.
Tendency
The weather conditions will bring about a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.
