Old wind slabs require caution. Moist snow slides and avalanches as the day progresses.
The somewhat older wind slabs are to be found in particular on north and east facing slopes and generally at elevated altitudes. These can in some places be released by people and reach medium size. In particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" can be released in the new snow and wind slab layers and reach medium size. They are sometimes thick but to be assessed with care and prudence.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more moist snow slides and avalanches are possible as the day progresses, even medium-sized ones.
The current avalanche situation calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.

Snowpack
>The wind slabs remain in some cases prone to triggering. The various wind slabs of last week are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in particular on steep, little used north and east facing slopes. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with each other and the old snowpack. Steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation the snow drift accumulations stabilised at the weekend.
At intermediate and high altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency
Slight increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the moderate to strong southwesterly wind.
