Deferegger Alps East

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Fresh wind slabs adjacent to ridgelines.

Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack, especially on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on near-ridge shady slopes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Monday: Significant warming. Increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Fresh wind slabs adjacent to ridgelines.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases by individual winter sport participants. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m, especially at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as on wind-loaded slopes. Here medium-sized avalanches are possible. In addition the mostly small wind slabs adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas are prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on north and east facing slopes at elevated altitudes. The fresh wind slabs are to be avoided in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling.
