Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force southwesterly wind, further wind slabs formed. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow has fallen. As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from southwesterly directions, rather small wind slabs formed. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes. Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.
