As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong to storm force wind from northwesterly directions, extensive wind slabs will form. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches easily, including dangerously large ones. This applies in all aspects in areas close to the tree line as well as above the tree line. At elevated altitudes avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Below approximately 2400 m gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep grassy slopes. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in isolated cases, in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack between approximately 2200 and 2800 m.
