Avalanche Activity
Consistently avoid fresh wind slab!
The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line. Fresh wind slabs can be triggered as small or medium-sized slabs in all aspects, even under low loads. Avalanche prone locations are mainly in gullies, bowls and behind terrain edges, also distant from ridgelines. Take particular care on very steep western, northern and eastern slopes above around 2000 metres. Transitions from little to more snow are particularly unfavourable.
Snowpack Structure
Stormy north-westerly winds characterise the snowpack and constantly form fresh wind slabs. The wind slab covers an unfavourable old snow surface above the tree line. The old snowpack is weak, especially on western, northern and eastern slopes above around 2000 metres, faceted crystals and a floating snow foundation close to the ground weaken the structure.
Weather Forecast
The clouds will thicken during the night, but it will remain dry. On Sunday, visibility will often be limited by clouds, but there will be hardly any snow. Strong to stormy north-westerly winds with gusts of 50 to 70 km/h. Temperature at 2000 metres around -6 degrees.
Tendency
No significant change on Monday.
