Avalanche Activity

The fresh and older wind slabs represent the main danger. Small and medium-sized natural avalanches are possible in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.

The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above the tree line. These can be released even by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in all aspects. In addition as the day progresses in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, further small and medium-sized natural avalanches are possible.

Snowpack Structure

More recent wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack above the tree line. The spring-like weather conditions on Thursday gave rise to moistening of the snowpack. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint.

Tendency

As a consequence of mild temperatures and the moderate to strong northwesterly wind, the snow drift accumulations will increase in size on Saturday.
