Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

The sometimes deep wind slabs can be released above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Their prevalence will increase with altitude. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. As a consequence of a storm force wind from northerly directions, large surface-area wind slabs formed in particular in gullies and bowls. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

Tendency

Monday: The avalanche danger will persist.
