Avalanche Activity

Over a wide area new snow. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.

The new snow and wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence. In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation large to very large avalanches are possible. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. They are numerous and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack. The avalanches can be released by small loads.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of new snow and wind, further wind slabs formed. The wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. Weak layers exist in the snowpack.

Tendency

Over a wide area precipitation. The wind will be moderate at times.
