Highlights

The conditions are sometimes critical for snow sport activities outside marked and open pistes. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches easily, including large ones.

Avalanche Activity

The conditions are sometimes critical for snow sport activities outside marked and open pistes. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches easily, including large ones.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force wind, easily released wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. On steep slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain slab avalanches are possible, even large ones.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days above approximately 2000 m. In particular above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The snowpack will be in most cases subject to considerable local variations. The various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
