Snowpack Structure

Precarious wind slabs formed. New snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Numerous weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. The snowpack will be in most cases subject to considerable local variations.

Tendency

The weather will be very cloudy.

Avalanche Activity

Considerable avalanche danger will prevail.

The snowpack remains generally unstable. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Natural avalanches are to be expected over a wide area. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and field observations indicate a critical avalanche situation. The avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack.
