Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

More recent wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases above approximately 2400 m. Avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep northwest, north and east facing slopes, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Mostly avalanches are only small. On extreme sunny slopes individual loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small.

Snowpack Structure

Fresh wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering on northwest to north to east facing aspects. This applies in particular on steep shady slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The older wind slabs of last week have bonded well with the old snowpack. The solar radiation will give rise to slight moistening of the snowpack on sunny slopes. Intermediate altitudes: The snowpack will be moist. At low altitude only a little snow is now lying.

Tendency

The conditions are generally favourable.
