Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind from westerly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form adjacent to ridgelines as well as at high altitude. These avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility, especially in the late morning. Afternoon: As a consequence of solar radiation small dry loose snow avalanches are possible. This applies on extremely steep sunny slopes.
Snowpack Structure
Up to 10 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1300 m. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. The old snowpack will be moist. This applies in all aspects at low and intermediate altitudes. A little snow is lying.
Tendency
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
