Highlights

Wind and new snow to low altitudes.

Avalanche problems

  • New snow

    • Above 2,400 m

Snowpack Structure

In particular at elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Faceted weak layers exist in the snowpack on wind-loaded slopes.

Tendency

Wind and new snow: The avalanche danger will increase but remain within the current danger level.

Avalanche Activity

Wind and new snow to low altitudes.

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from northwesterly directions, further wind slabs will form on New Year's Eve especially in the regions exposed to precipitation. These can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases. The older wind slabs will be covered with new snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise.
