Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution. Slight increase in danger of gliding avalanches on steep grassy slopes.

More recent wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on near-ridge shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Their prevalence will increase with altitude. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Avalanches can in isolated cases reach medium size. On steep grassy slopes more frequent small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular below approximately 2400 m. On extremely steep slopes individual small to medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are possible. In the event of prolonged bright spells this applies in all aspects, in particular.

Snowpack Structure

Some snow will fall in some regions. The wind will be light to moderate. Soft wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Towards its base, the snowpack is largely stable. The old snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. The high humditiy gave rise to moistening of the snowpack in some cases also at high altitude.

Tendency

Wind slabs require caution.
