Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

The fresh wind slabs can be released easily in some cases. This applies especially on steep shady slopes, as well as adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above the tree line. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. 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.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack at elevated altitudes. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

Tendency

Moderate avalanche danger will prevail. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
