Avalanche Activity

Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes. In addition individual gliding avalanches and snow slides are possible.

The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above the tree line, caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. These places are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. Mostly avalanches are only small. On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches and snow slides are possible as a consequence of the new snow.

Snowpack Structure

Some snow will fall on Monday. The wind will be moderate adjacent to ridgelines. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers on near-ridge shady slopes. Only a little snow is lying.

Tendency

Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes. Individual gliding avalanches and snow slides are possible, but they will be mostly small.
