Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

As the day progresses as a consequence of the strong northwesterly wind there will be only a slight increase in the danger of dry avalanches. Adjacent to ridgelines as well as at elevated altitudes mostly small wind slabs will form. These can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases. They are to be avoided in very steep terrain. Mostly avalanches are small.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of a gathering strong northwesterly wind, mostly small wind slabs will form on Monday. The strong wind will transport the loosely bonded old snow. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers in particular on very steep shady slopes. Hardly any weak layers exist in the old snowpack.

Tendency

The wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in particular on very steep shady slopes.
