Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution.

The fresh and older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. Such avalanche prone locations are easy to recognise. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Mostly avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Less snow than usual is lying in all altitude zones.

Tendency

As a consequence of the occasionally strong northerly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
