Border Pennine Alps

Wind slabs above approximately 2300 m. In addition in the afternoon further individual moist and wet avalanches are possible.

Wind slabs above approximately 2300 m. In addition in the afternoon further individual moist and wet avalanches are possible.

The clearly visible wind slabs can still be released in particular on northwest to northeast to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2300 m. In some places avalanches can also penetrate deep layers. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above the tree line, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. In particular in steep rocky terrain individual mostly small moist and wet avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m.

Below approximately 2200 m as well as very steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of rising temperatures and rain up to high altitudes the snowpack settled at the weekend. Towards its surface, the snowpack is hard and its surface has a crust. In particular above approximately 2300 m as well as adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls: The sometimes storm force wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. Above the tree line hard wind slabs formed. Individual weak layers exist in the snowpack on steep west, north and east facing slopes.
