Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution.

Wind slabs can in isolated cases be released, but they will be small in most cases. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 1800 m in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

The wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on wind-protected northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. At intermediate and high altitudes only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Tendency

Low avalanche danger will persist.
