Some fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs formed during the snowfall can be released easily, or, in isolated cases naturally in particular on steep northeast, east and south facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. These can in many cases be released by small loads, but they will be small in most cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas and at transitions into gullies and bowls. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong northwesterly wind, further wind slabs will form in the course of the day also in areas not adjacent to ridgelines.

The new snow of the last few days can be released in some cases in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. The avalanches in these loacations are rather small.

As the temperature drops individual gliding avalanches are possible.

The wind slabs are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for defensive route selection.
