Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution.

As a consequence of a sometimes strong northeasterly wind, further wind slabs will form in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh and older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised on near-ridge slopes.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of the occasionally strong northeasterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.

Tendency

Fresh wind slabs require caution. As a consequence of rising temperatures the snow drift accumulations will stabilise during the next few days.
