Avalanche Activity

The wind slabs represent the main danger.

In some localities mostly small wind slabs will form. They can be released in isolated cases, in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls on extremely steep slopes. Caution is to be exercised at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack.

Snowpack Structure

In all aspects snow depths vary greatly above approximately 2200 m, depending on the infuence of the wind. Below approximately 1800 m from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. On steep sunny slopes below approximately 2500 m a little snow is lying. The snowpack is not distinctly layered. Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. These wintry weather conditions will give rise to favourable bonding of the old snowpack.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
