Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

The more recent wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep shady slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 1800 m. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized and can be released in some cases by a single winter sport participant.

Snowpack Structure

In particular in the south up to 10 cm of snow will fall. The more recent wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the centre of the old snowpack especially on little used shady slopes. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Tendency

The weather conditions will facilitate a stabilisation of the snowpack. Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.
