Avalanche Activity

Over a wide area new snow. Considerable avalanche danger will prevail.

In the regions where more snow falls the avalanche danger is greater. The avalanche-prone wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Wind slabs can be released, even by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche danger should be investigated very thoroughly in the relevant locality.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of snowfall and the wind, a precarious avalanche situation developed. New snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Numerous weak layers exist in the old snowpack. They are to be found in particular on shady slopes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.

Tendency

The weather will be partly cloudy.
