The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released easily. or in isolated cases naturally, in particular on shady slopes and at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Sometimes the avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines above approximately 2200 m and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These places are covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise.
As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of dry and moist avalanches being released will increase for a while in particular on very steep sunny slopes above approximately 1600 m. In isolated cases the avalanches in these regions are medium-sized and in many cases easily released.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for careful route selection.

The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in particular on steep shady slopes. In isolated cases the avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines above approximately 2200 m. They are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation dry and moist avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small.
Defensive route selection is important.
