Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above the tree line. They are to be avoided in very steep terrain. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are small.

Snowpack Structure

On Saturday the wind will be storm force over a wide area. The wind slabs will be deposited on weak layers in particular on very steep shady slopes. In shady places that are protected from the wind the snowpack is weaker. Hardly any weak layers exist in the old snowpack.

Tendency

Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in very steep terrain.
