Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs require caution.

In particular on wind-loaded slopes avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in some cases. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line.

Snowpack Structure

5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The sometimes strong wind will transport the new snow. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes.

Tendency

The snowpack remains prone to triggering.
