Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of the strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed. The wind slabs have bonded with the old snowpack. They are to be assessed with care and prudence. In addition further wind slabs formed in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Weak layers in the old snowpack indicate that the stability of the snowpack varies greatly within a small area.

Avalanche Activity

New snow and wind slabs above approximately 1800 m. Below approximately 1800 m mostly small moist and wet avalanches are possible.

The new snow and wind slabs of the last two days are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 1800 m. Below approximately 1800 m mostly small moist and wet avalanches are possible.
