Wind slab
- Above 2,500 m
The wind will be moderate to strong over a wide area. The westerly wind will transport the new snow.
The wind will be moderate to strong over a wide area. The westerly wind will transport the new snow.
In all altitude zones only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on north, northeast and northwest facing slopes. In particular shady slopes where hard layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack are precarious. The wind will be moderate to strong over a wide area. The westerly wind will transport the new snow. The small quantity of fresh snow of the last few days and the mostly small wind slabs can be released in isolated cases, but mostly only by large additional loads, and generally above the tree line. Low and intermediate altitudes as well as wind-protected sunny slopes: The snowpack is stable.
In particular above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The more recent wind slabs of recent weeks have bonded well with the old snowpack especially on sunny slopes. Especially places where weaknesses exist in the old snowpack are unfavourable. Especially shady slopes where hard layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack are precarious. Low and intermediate altitudes as well as wind-protected sunny slopes: The snowpack is stable and its surface has a crust.
