Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs are to be avoided.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force wind from northerly directions, mostly shallow wind slabs formed since Saturday. These can be released by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular on near-ridge slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more frequent loose snow avalanches are to be expected. This applies in particular on rocky sunny slopes.

Snowpack Structure

In some regions up to 20 cm of snow has fallen since yesterday. In some localities up to 10 cm of snow will fall in the next few hours. The fresh snow and the small wind slabs formed during the snowfall are lying on soft layers in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. West, south and east facing slopes below approximately 2400 m: The new snow is lying on a crust.

Tendency

Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and wind.
