Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

The small wind slabs of the last three days can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in all aspects above approximately 2100 m. The avalanches are only small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

Less snow than expected fell during the night. In all regions 2 cm of snow has fallen. In the past few hours the wind was light. At intermediate altitudes there are 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency

Monday: Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and strong wind.
