Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are prone to triggering above approximately 2200 m. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. There is a danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. As a consequence of new snow and a light to moderate wind from variable directions, avalanche prone wind slabs will form in all aspects. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The old snowpack is largely stable.

Tendency

The weather conditions will cause a slow settling of the snow drift accumulations.
