Avalanche Activity

The fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

The small quantity of fresh snow and the sometimes large wind slabs that are forming especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls can be released by a single winter sport participant. Above approximately 2800 m the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Dry avalanches can be released in deeper layers, in particular by large additional loads.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh snow and the wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in some places. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist deeper in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
