Highlights

Fresh wind slabs require caution. Gliding avalanches are possible in isolated cases.

Snowpack Structure

5 to 10 cm of snow has fallen. The wind will be moderate. Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals and has a loosely bonded surface. Steep sunny slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases.

Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution. Gliding avalanches are possible in isolated cases.

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong northwesterly wind, small wind slabs will form. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes in areas close to the tree line and above the tree line. The fresh wind slabs can be released easily. On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.

Tendency

Fresh wind slabs require caution.
