Highlights

The wind slabs have formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and generally at high altitudes. Here dry slab avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones.

Avalanche Activity

The wind slabs have formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and generally at high altitudes. Here dry slab avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones.

The somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 2400 m. Weak layers in the old snowpack represent the main danger.

Snowpack Structure

Little snow will fall until the early morning in some regions. The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations. Somewhat older wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack in shady places that are protected from the wind.
