Avalanche Activity

A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Wind slabs at elevated altitudes.

Wind slabs can only be released in isolated cases, caution is to be exercised on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist snow slides during the day being released will increase. This applies especially on extremely steep sunny slopes. In extremely steep terrain small moist loose snow avalanches are possible. Even a small avalanche can sweep winter sport participants along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Saturday. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to gradual moistening of the snowpack. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Tendency

Tuesday: As a consequence of new snow and a strengthening northwesterly wind, wind slabs will form at elevated altitudes.
