Graie Alps

The fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs remain in some cases prone to triggering.

The fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs remain in some cases prone to triggering.

As a consequence of new snow and wind from easterly directions, wind slabs formed in the last few days above approximately 2200 m. These can be released, in particular by large loads, caution is to be exercised in particular on wind-loaded slopes, and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. In some places the avalanches can be released in the new snow and wind slab layers and reach medium size.

In particular above approximately 2200 m the wind slabs have increased in size in the last few days. They are lying on a crust in particular on east to south to southwest facing aspects and at low altitude. Intermediate and high altitudes: The snowpack remains soft in particular in places that are protected from the wind. Individual weak layers exist in the snowpack on steep shady slopes.

The avalanche danger will persist.
