Highlights

The new snow of the last three days is lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 1900 m. The wind slabs are covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise.

Avalanche Activity

The new snow of the last three days is lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 1900 m. The wind slabs are covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise.

The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger. The sometimes strong wind will transport the new snow significantly. Soft weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example.

Snowpack Structure

Weak layers exist in the old snowpack. In particular transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack where weaknesses exist in the old snowpack are especially dangerous. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
