Monregalese Valleys

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

More recent wind slabs can still be released in particular on very steep shady slopes and generally at intermediate and high altitudes. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The large quantity of fresh snow of last week as well as the wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches as before, including medium-sized ones. In isolated cases the avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack. More natural avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones. In addition in particular at the base of rock walls, small and medium-sized natural moist avalanches are possible. As a consequence of warming during the day gliding avalanches are possible. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.

As a consequence of rising temperatures and solar radiation the snowpack settled during the last two days. These conditions facilitated a gradual strengthening of the snowpack.

The weather conditions facilitated a gradual stabilisation of the snowpack.
