Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and stormy weather. The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. In some cases avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects above approximately 2000 m and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.
Snowpack Structure
5 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Friday, in particular in the Venediger Range. The wind will be strong to storm force. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in all aspects. In its middle, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals, in particular on shady slopes. At elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
Tendency
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
