Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Slab avalanches are still possible.
Soft wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack. Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs have formed especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and generally in the high Alpine regions. They can be released even by a single winter sport participant in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m.
Snowpack Structure
The strong wind has transported some snow. In some cases the wind slabs have bonded still only poorly. In its middle, the snowpack is largely stable. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted and weak.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
