Avalanche Activity

The fresh snow of the weekend and the deep wind slabs represent the main danger.

Caution is to be exercised on wind-loaded slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Dry slab avalanches are possible. In some cases the avalanches are medium-sized and can be released even by a single winter sport participant.

Snowpack Structure

The moderate wind will transport the new snow. New snow and wind slabs are lying mostly on old snow containing large grains. The avalanche-prone wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 1500 m. Avalanches can be released by small loads.

Tendency

New snow and wind slabs during the course of the night. Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1000 m.
