Avalanche Activity

The fresh snow and the wind slabs represent the main danger. The current avalanche situation calls for caution and restraint.

Over a wide area 25 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. As a consequence of the moderate to strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed. These can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects and generally above the tree line. The wind slabs are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The current avalanche situation calls for extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.

Snowpack Structure

The moderate wind has transported the old snow. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on the soft surface of an old snowpack. Towards its base, the snowpack is unfavourably layered and has a loosely bonded surface.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will decrease gradually.
