Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong southwesterly wind, sometimes deep wind slabs formed at intermediate and high altitudes. In very isolated cases the avalanches are medium-sized. These can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 2000 m. Artificially triggered avalanches and shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack indicate an unfavourable avalanche situation in particular on wind-loaded slopes.
Small dry avalanches are possible as a consequence of the new snow. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep rocky terrain above approximately 2000 m.

Snowpack

Above approximately 1800 m snow fell in the last few days in particular at the southern border of Aran. In particular in the south and in the southwest 10 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Tuesday. 5 to 10 cm of snow will fall until the early morning above approximately 1500 m. The southwesterly wind will transport the new snow.
The extensive wind slabs of yesterday are covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise.
Also adjacent to ridgelines: Even in moderately steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust.
Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In all regions less snow than usual is lying.

Tendency
In some localities increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of new snow and wind.
