Avalanche Activity

Considerable avalanche danger will prevail.

The avalanche-prone wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence. The avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Avalanches can penetrate down to the ground. They can in many places be released, even by a single winter sport participant. Moist avalanches are possible as a consequence of the precipitation.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. Precarious weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes. The weather conditions gave rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes.

Tendency

The weather will be clear at times.
