Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution, especially at elevated altitudes.

The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep southwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines. At elevated altitudes the likelihood of avalanches being released is greater. The avalanches are only small. On extremely steep sunny slopes loose snow avalanches are to be expected, in the event of prolonged bright spells especially.

Snowpack Structure

10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since yesterday. As a consequence of the moderate to strong northerly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. These are lying on soft layers in particular on southwest to north to east facing aspects at elevated altitudes. The solar radiation will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack.

Tendency

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.
