Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs above approximately 1800 m. Slab avalanches are possible.

The sometimes strong wind has transported some snow. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind, wind slabs formed in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence.

Snowpack Structure

The wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.
