Avalanche Activity

Old wind slabs require caution.

The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released even by a single winter sport participant. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep slopes above approximately 2000 m, and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Individual natural loose snow slides are possible, even medium-sized ones. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places in particular on very steep shady slopes.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in all aspects and at elevated altitudes. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals.

Tendency

Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. As a consequence of solar radiation individual loose snow avalanches are to be expected.
