Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form at elevated altitudes. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and on steep shady slopes. On steep grassy slopes and at intermediate and high altitudes individual gliding avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small.

Snowpack Structure

5 to 20 cm of snow, and up to 30 cm in some localities, fell in the last few days. Some snow will fall on Thursday. The wind will be strong to storm force over a wide area. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
