Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of a strong wind, mostly small wind slabs formed above the tree line. As a consequence of foehn wind, small wind slabs will form also in areas close to the tree line. These can be released in isolated cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 3 (considerable) and at elevated altitudes the avalanche danger is a little higher.
Snowpack Structure
The wind was strong over a wide area. In the last few days hard wind slabs formed especially above approximately 2000 m. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers.
Tendency
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
