Avalanche Activity
Avoid snowdrift accumulations!
The avalanche danger is moderate. Wind slab can be triggered as a small to medium slab avalanche by a small additional load. Avalanche prone locations are located adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit and distant from ridgelines in steep terrain with aspects from northwest to east to south as well as in gullies and bowls. Snow slabs can also be triggered in forest transition areas as well as in aisles and clearings. In addition to the risk of burial, the risk of falling and injury must be taken into account.
Snowpack Structure
It remains stormy. The fresh and older wind slab is prone to triggering on soft layers or surface hoar. The base of the snowpack is often crusted can form at medium elevations, at higher elevations it consists of faceted crystals. The snow depth varies greatly, alternating between blown and drifted snow-laden areas.
Tendency
Depending on the amount of new snow, the avalanche risk may increase.
