Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs and wet snow require caution, especially at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.

The fresh wind slabs can be released easily, but they can reach medium size, especially at intermediate and high altitudes. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist and wet avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. The current avalanche situation calls for defensive route selection.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 40 to 60 cm of snow fell in the last three days above approximately 2200 m. A lot of new snow in the high Alpine regions. Up to 2000 m rain has fallen in some regions. As a consequence of new snow and wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust, after a clear night especially at low and intermediate altitudes.
