Wind slab
- Above treeline
Pay attention to exposed steep terrain at high altitudes!
On Sunday, visibility is often good and the sun is often shining. A few denser clouds will appear temporarily in the afternoon and visibility will become more diffuse. The wind will blow briskly from south to east. At 1500 metres around 0 degrees, at 2000 metres around -3 degrees. Monday will be mostly sunny. At first the sun will shine from a blue sky. Then clouds will form, but it should remain dry. In 1500 m up to 2 degrees, in 2000 m around -2 degrees.
Despite some new fallen snow, the avalanche situation hardly changes.
Pay attention to exposed steep terrain at high altitudes!
The avalanche risk is mostly low. Nevertheless, there are a few avalanche prone locations due to wind slab. Occasionally, slab avalanches can still be triggered in the ridgeline and summit area, behind terrain edges and in steep bowls and gullies. The persistent weak layer problem can only occur very rarely on shady slopes and high up in extreme terrain.
In the ridgelines and summits, there are still snowdrift accumulations in places that could be disturbed. The old snowpack is mostly stable, up to high altitudes in the centre it is partly moist. At very high altitudes, the snow base, fundament is occasionally weakened.
