Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution.

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from westerly directions, further wind slabs will form. These are rather small but in some cases prone to triggering. Avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and on steep shady slopes. This applies above the tree line.

Snowpack Structure

Some snow will fall over a wide area. As a consequence of a moderate to strong westerly wind, further wind slabs will form especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These are mostly small but in some cases prone to triggering. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
