Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution.

The mostly small wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations. The snowpack will be in some cases prone to triggering. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with the old snowpack. The old wind slabs are lying on soft layers above approximately 2400 m. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on shady slopes.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
