Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution. At elevated altitudes a precarious avalanche situation will be encountered in some regions.

In the last few days wind slabs formed in all aspects. These must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Even single backcountry tourers can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones.

Snowpack Structure

Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. The weather conditions fostered a weakening of the snowpack in particular on very steep slopes. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects at high altitude. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack confirm the unfavourable bonding of the snowpack.

Tendency

New snow and wind slabs require caution.
