Avalanche Activity

The fresh snow and the wind slabs that are forming over a wide area can be released easily or naturally above approximately 1800 m.

Caution is to be exercised on wind-loaded slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Dry slab avalanches are possible. Avalanches can be released in near-ground layers by small loads. Sometimes the avalanches are large.

Snowpack Structure

The moderate wind will transport the new snow. New snow and wind slabs are lying mostly on old snow containing large grains. The avalanche-prone wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 1500 m. Avalanches can be released by small loads.

Tendency

New snow and wind slabs during the course of the night. Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1000 m.
