Avalanche Activity

High avalanche danger will prevail.

The meteorological conditions caused a rise in the avalanche danger. The snowpack remains generally unstable. Natural avalanches are to be expected over a wide area. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and field observations indicate a very critical avalanche situation. The avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack.

Snowpack Structure

Large surface-area wind slabs formed. New snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Numerous weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. The snowpack will be in most cases subject to considerable local variations.

Tendency

The weather will be very cloudy. Light precipitation.
