Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Moderate avalanche danger will prevail. Wind slabs require caution.
Avalanches can in some cases be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies especially on steep shady slopes, as well as adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above the tree line. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. 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 somewhat older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack at elevated altitudes. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack. The snowpack will be moist below approximately 2200 m.
Tendency
Moderate avalanche danger will prevail. Wind slabs require caution.
