Wind slabs at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.
As a consequence of new snow and a light to moderate wind from variable directions, mostly small wind slabs will form in the course of the day especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches in isolated cases. On very steep sunny slopes moist snow slides are possible as a consequence of solar radiation.
Snowpack
>
Over a wide area 0 to 5 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the evening above approximately 2300 m. Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack is hardly frozen at all will already be soft in the early morning. Shady slopes high altitudes: The snowpack is favourably layered and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a melt-freeze crust. In all regions at intermediate and high altitudes less snow than usual is lying. At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.
