Carnic Alps Lesachtal

Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

The somewhat older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases, but mostly only by large additional loads, on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. This applies in gullies and bowls. Such avalanche prone locations are rare. Avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. The wind will transport only a little snow. Steep shady slopes: In some cases wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack.

Low avalanche danger will persist.
