Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of the precipitation the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. In particular on steep slopes the avalanches can be released in the faceted old snow. Avalanches can be released by a single winter sport participant.

Snowpack Structure

The wind will transport the new snow. As a consequence of new snow and wind, wind slabs will form. The wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. Precarious weak layers exist in the snowpack.

Tendency

The weather will be partly cloudy.
