Highlights

As a consequence of new snow and wind the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. In addition the wind slabs also in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain are easily triggered.

Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of new snow and wind the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. In addition the wind slabs also in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain are easily triggered.

The fresh snow as well as the sometimes large wind slabs will be deposited on a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on steep north facing slopes and generally above the tree line. On steep shady slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain dry avalanches are possible towards the evening, even medium-sized ones.
