Avalanche Activity

Weak layers deep in the old snowpack necessitate caution. In addition the wind slabs must be taken into account.

Winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases, with a large load in most cases. Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate deep layers and reach medium size. The fresh snow and local wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes and at high altitude. The avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. In particular on steep south facing slopes small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized natural avalanches are possible. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation this applies in particular.

Snowpack Structure

Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack especially on west, north and east facing slopes. These can be released in isolated cases. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on wind-protected shady slopes at elevated altitudes. At elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Some snow has fallen over a wide area. Above approximately 1200 m snow will fall on Thursday. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.

Tendency

Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack. Fresh wind slabs at high altitude. Some snow will fall over a wide area.
