Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

The more recent wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep shady slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 1800 m. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized and can be released in some cases by a single winter sport participant. The weather conditions will give rise to increasing consolidation of the snowpack.

Snowpack Structure

The more recent wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack. Precarious weak layers exist in the centre of the old snowpack in particular on little used shady slopes. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing softening of the snowpack on sunny slopes. Increase in danger of moist snow slides in particular in steep rocky terrain. Below the tree line a little snow is lying. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.

Tendency

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. Increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
