Chiemgau Alps East

Avalanche prone locations are mainly in the leeward areas.

It remains windy. The wind slab problem may get a little bigger.

Avalanche prone locations are mainly in the leeward areas.

The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line and low below. Wind slabs are the main problem. The avalanche prone locations are in the steep terrain adjacent to ridgelines in the north to east aspects as well as in gullies and bowls. Slab avalanches can be triggered with little additional load and usually remain small.

Small gliding avalanches can release on their own on previously apery, very steep meadow slopes.

Around 20 to 30 cm of new fallen snow with strong, sometimes stormy winds from a north-westerly direction. Where there is still snow, the new and wind-slab snow will lie on a slightly damp surface of old snow. Only on very steep north-facing slopes at higher altitudes is it occasionally lying on soft snow. Weak layers prone to triggering may be embedded within the wind slab. The old snowpack is generally well stabilised and slightly moist. Previously bare ground is covered by new fallen snow.
