Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution. In addition individual gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible.

The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line, caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Mostly avalanches are only small. On steep grassy slopes mostly small gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible as a consequence of the new snow.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Tuesday. As a consequence of the strong wind the wind slabs have increased in size moderately. They are in isolated cases prone to triggering. In particular in the south only a little snow is lying.

Tendency

The conditions will facilitate a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. The high humditiy will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack also at elevated altitudes. Moist snow slides are to be expected.
