Avalanche Activity

The wind was moderate to strong in the vicinity of peaks in some localities.

Thus far the wind has been moderate to strong in the vicinity of peaks over a wide area. Since Sunday the previously small wind slabs have increased in size moderately. The fresh wind slabs are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200 m and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of the moderate to strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with each other and the old snowpack. Hard wind slabs can be released by large loads at their margins in particular. Reports filed by observers and stability tests indicate that the stability of the snowpack varies greatly within a small area above approximately 2200 m.
