Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
More recent wind slabs represent the main danger.
Some snow has fallen in some regions. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind, further wind slabs formed. The sometimes new snow-covered wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases. These avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Above approximately 2500 m these avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.
Snowpack Structure
Down to 400 m snow fell on Monday. 5 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. As a consequence of low temperatures, snowfall and the moderate to strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed during the last few days. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. Below approximately 2000 m from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
