Avalanche Activity

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.

Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in deeper layers, in particular by large additional loads. This applies on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1900 m. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads,. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain at elevated altitudes.

Snowpack Structure

The old snowpack will be weakly bonded, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1900 m. The gusty wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. Hard wind slabs formed. The various wind slabs have bonded quite well together.

Tendency
