Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs are to be avoided.

The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs of the last few days can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in areas close to the tree line and above the tree line. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Additionally in very isolated cases avalanches can penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size, especially on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Snowpack Structure

The sometimes strong wind has transported the new snow significantly. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded poorly together. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack, especially on shady slopes.

Tendency

Wind slabs require caution.
