The new snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.
The new snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.
As a consequence of new snow and a moderate wind from northwesterly directions, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed. The wind slabs are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. The sleet gave rise to significant moistening of the old snowpack in some places below approximately 1800 m. These conditions brought about a slight weakening of the old snowpack in the regions exposed to precipitation.
In all regions only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
