Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
A sometimes treacherous avalanche situation will prevail. Weakly bonded old snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.
Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are quite prevalent and are barely recognisable. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found also in areas close to the tree line. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.
Snowpack Structure
The fresh snow of last week and the sometimes large wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted. Distinct weak layers exist in the snowpack.
Tendency
Avalanches can as before be released by a single winter sport participant.
