Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution.

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind, wind slabs formed in the last few days in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These can in some cases be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular on northeast, north and northwest facing slopes above the tree line in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation.

Snowpack Structure

The wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on wind-protected shady slopes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Less snow than usual is lying in all altitude zones.

Tendency

Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls.
