Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

Above approximately 1900 m and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain dry slab avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. They can in isolated cases be released by small loads. Isolated mostly small moist and wet avalanches are possible below approximately 1900 m.

Snowpack Structure

More recent wind slabs have formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines on southwest, west and northwest facing slopes and generally at elevated altitudes. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the old snowpack in particular on very steep shady slopes. Dunes on the snow surface indicate the danger. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack over a wide area below approximately 1900 m.
