Border Graie Alps

Old wind slabs above approximately 2500 m. As a consequence of the precipitation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent.

Old wind slabs above approximately 2500 m. As a consequence of the precipitation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent.

The snowfall will give rise to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. The prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase. As a consequence of new snow and wind from easterly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form in particular in places that are protected from the wind. These are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. In particular on very steep slopes and in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation mostly small dry and moist avalanches are to be expected at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. In particular high altitudes and the high Alpine regions as well as wind-loaded slopes: In localities where more than 25 cm of snow falls danger level 3 (considerable) will be reached.

The snowfall will give rise to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack in some places in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. In some cases new snow and wind slabs are lying on the smooth surface of an old snowpack. This applies especially on sunny slopes, but in isolated cases also on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m. In particular below approximately 2500 m,: The old snowpack remains generally stable. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.

The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual strengthening of the snowpack.
