Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution.

As a consequence of the strong to storm force northerly wind, snow drift accumulations formed on Tuesday. The fresh and older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The prevalence of such avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Mostly avalanches are only small. Even a small avalanche can sweep snow sport participants along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. In all regions a little snow is lying.

Tendency

Wind slabs represent the main danger.
