Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of new snow and wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and larger. In all aspects large and, in isolated cases, very large avalanches are possible. Avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of new snow and wind, wind slabs will form. They must be evaluated with care and prudence. The new snow and wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack. Weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack.

Tendency

Over a wide area precipitation. The weather will be cold. Over a wide area the wind slabs will increase in size additionally.
