Border Graie Alps

Individual weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes.

Individual weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes.

Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas above approximately 2500 m, as well as on very steep shady slopes. The wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, in particular on north to east to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2500 m. In very isolated cases avalanches can also be triggered in the old snowpack.

The weather conditions gave rise to gradual consolidation of the snowpack. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack at intermediate and high altitudes. In all aspects less snow than usual is lying. In particular in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In some regions from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
