Avalanche Activity

The new snow represents the main danger. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places on shady slopes.

The new snow represents the main danger. This snow can be released easily or naturally in all aspects above the tree line. Distinct weak layers exist deep in the snowpack on shady slopes. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases by winter sport participants in particular on very steep west, north and northeast facing slopes. Dry avalanches can in very isolated cases be triggered in the old snowpack and reach quite a large size on very steep shady slopes.

Snowpack Structure

The old snowpack will be prone to triggering in some places. Towards its surface, the snowpack is unfavourably layered and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a melt-freeze crust. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted and weak.
