Avalanche Activity

Over a wide area wind and new snow. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase.

In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation large and, in isolated cases, very large avalanches are possible. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack. Avalanches can be released by small loads.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of new snow and wind, further wind slabs will form. Weak layers exist in the snowpack.

Tendency

Over a wide area intensive precipitation. The wind will be moderate at times. We recommend that you consult the most recent avalanche bulletin.
