Persistent weak layers
- Above 1,700 m
Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint.
Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint.
Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases especially on very steep shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack in high Alpine regions. Avalanches can be released, mostly by large loads and reach medium size.
The snowpack remains generally well bonded. The weather conditions will give rise to gradual consolidation of the snowpack in particular at intermediate altitudes. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at high altitude and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack.
