Highlights

The fresh wind slabs are easy to recognise and can in some cases be released easily especially at their margins. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack on very steep sunny slopes.

The fresh wind slabs are easy to recognise are to be assessed critically. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack on very steep sunny slopes. Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. On steep shady slopes the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. The avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack and reach medium size in isolated cases. The near-surface layers of the snowpack can be released even by individual winter sport participants in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example.

Snowpack Structure

In some localities up to 25 cm of snow fell on Sunday. The fresh snow and the wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack are treacherous. Especially above approximately 2000 m northwest, north and northeast facing slopes:
