Wind slab
- Above 2,400 m
At lower altitudes hardly any snow is lying below approximately 3000 m, especially on steep south facing slopes.
At lower altitudes hardly any snow is lying below approximately 3000 m, especially on steep south facing slopes.
The clearly visible wind slabs of the last two days can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on north to east to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. In some places avalanches can also be released in near-ground layers. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.
Towards its surface, the snowpack is hard and its surface has a melt-freeze crust, especially below approximately 2300 m. Weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack at intermediate and high altitudes. Below approximately 2000 m only a little snow is lying.
Up to 5 cm of snow will fall in all altitude zones. The danger will persist.
