Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

The fresh wind slabs can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line. They are easy to recognise. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. On steep grassy slopes mostly small gliding avalanches are possible.

Snowpack Structure

Some snow will fall. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on shady slopes. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.

Tendency

Fresh wind slabs require caution.
