The new snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.
The new snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.
The old snowpack will be in most cases well bonded. As a consequence of new snow and strong wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses. On steep slopes and on wind-loaded slopes dry slab avalanches are possible as the day progresses, even quite large ones.
The old snowpack will be generally well bonded. Weak layers exist in the top section of the old snowpack especially on very steep shady slopes. The new snow and wind slabs can be released easily or naturally in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.
