Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
A lot of new snow to low altitudes.
As a consequence of new snow and wind numerous dry avalanches are possible, but they can be very large in isolated cases. New snow and wind slabs can over a wide area be released by a single winter sport participant and reach large size. Backcountry touring calls for extensive experience and restraint. The avalanche prone locations are prevalent and are difficult to recognise. Dry avalanches can in some cases penetrate deep layers.
Snowpack Structure
A lot of snow will fall until the early morning. The strong wind has transported a lot of snow. The large quantity of fresh snow as well as the wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall are bonding poorly with the old snowpack in many places.
