Gailtal Alps East

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls.

As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from variable directions, wind slabs formed especially in gullies and bowls. These can in very isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.

Wind slabs are lying on soft layers. The weather conditions will facilitate a settling of the snowpack.

Decrease in avalanche danger.
