Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Wind slabs and wet snow represent the main danger.
The somewhat older wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack in particular on south to southeast to east facing aspects. Small and medium-sized avalanches are possible on steep shady slopes. On wind-loaded slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain the likelihood of avalanches is higher. In the afternoon, individual gliding avalanches are possible.
Snowpack Structure
Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. The sometimes strong wind has transported the loosely bonded old snow. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals, in particular on shady slopes.
Tendency
Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
