Tuxer Alps West

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Old wind slabs require caution. The old wind slabs are small. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes and adjacent to ridgelines. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

The mostly small wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The old snowpack is faceted, especially on west, north and east facing slopes at elevated altitudes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. In all altitude zones only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Gradual increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the westerly wind.
