Avalanche Activity
Wind slabs require caution.
Since yesterday the wind has been moderate to strong in some localities. Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1000 m. On wind-loaded slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain the likelihood of avalanches is higher. In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation individual small and medium-sized slab avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of new snow and strong wind.
Snowpack Structure
The new snow is lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on steep shady slopes at high altitude. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals.
Tendency
Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
