Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
The fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. At elevated altitudes the likelihood of avalanches being released is greater. Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in the weakly bonded old snow at high altitude. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. They are very rare but are difficult to recognise.
Snowpack Structure
In some cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers, especially on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack, in particular on shady slopes at high altitude. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to moistening of the snowpack in particular at intermediate altitudes.
Tendency
Monday: Warming. The avalanche danger will increase during the day.
