Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Wind slabs represent the main danger.
The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines. The avalanche prone locations are easy to recognise. Mostly the avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
Snowpack Structure
As a consequence of a sometimes storm force wind from westerly directions, wind slabs formed. The wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. The old snowpack is faceted and weak.
Tendency
Low avalanche danger will prevail.
