Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs represent the main danger.

The more recent wind slabs represent the main danger. Avalanches can penetrate down to the ground and reach medium size. Increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from northerly directions, sometimes large wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects and generally above the tree line. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2500 m.

Tendency

Saturday: The avalanche danger will persist.
