Prags Dolomites

Wind slabs require caution.

Wind slabs require caution.

The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs of the last few days are in individual cases still prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The mostly small wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In addition as the day progresses on south facing slopes, further mostly small loose snow avalanches are possible.

As a consequence of a strong to storm force northwesterly wind, mostly small wind slabs formed in the last few days in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes.

The avalanche conditions remain generally favourable.
