Wind slabs at high altitude. In the middle of the day, a few moist snow slides are possible.
As a consequence of a light to moderate wind from northwesterly directions, small wind slabs formed by the early morning adjacent to ridgelines on northeast, east and southeast facing slopes. They can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases at high altitude.
In the middle of the day the likelihood of moist snow slides being released will increase a little in particular on very steep south facing slopes at intermediate and high altitudes.
Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack
>Over a wide area 2 to 5 cm of snow fell yesterday above approximately 2000 m.
Shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines: The snowpack is favourably layered and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a strong crust.
Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day.
At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency
As a consequence of new snow and strong wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase from the early morning.
