Wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering above the tree line. Wet and gliding avalanches are to be expected from around the middle of the day.
In the last few days rather small wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines. These are in isolated cases prone to triggering. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Mostly the avalanches are rather small.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp 10: springtime scenario
At low altitude no snow is lying. At intermediate altitudes the snow is wet. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack in all aspects.
Tendency
Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

Wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Wet and gliding avalanches are to be expected from around the middle of the day.
In the last few days rather small wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines. These are in some cases prone to triggering, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly the avalanches are rather small but in some cases easily released.
In addition the no longer entirely fresh wind slabs should be taken into account. These are in individual cases still prone to triggering. These avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp 10: springtime scenario
At low altitude no snow is lying. At intermediate altitudes the snow is wet. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack in all aspects below approximately 2400 m.
In some places wind slabs are lying on soft layers. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes, especially above approximately 2600 m.
Tendency
Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

Wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering above the tree line. Wet and gliding avalanches are to be expected from around the middle of the day.
In the last few days mostly small wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines. These are in isolated cases prone to triggering, especially on very steep shady slopes above the tree line adjacent to ridgelines.
These avalanche prone locations are very rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The avalanches are rather small but in some cases easily released.
