Avalanche problems

  • Wind slab

    • Above 2,200 m

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow has fallen since Sunday. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind, wind slabs formed especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These are mostly small but in some cases prone to triggering. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.

Avalanche Activity

The wind slabs of the last few days remain in some cases prone to triggering.

The wind slabs of the last few days can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Mostly avalanches are only small. Avalanche prone locations are to be found also adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
