Snowpack Structure

The moderate wind will transport the new snow. The avalanche-prone wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Avalanches can be released by small loads. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

Avalanche Activity

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger. Dry slab avalanches are possible. In some regions some new snow to above 800 m.

New snow and wind slabs are lying mostly on old snow containing large grains. Caution is to be exercised on wind-loaded slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In some cases the avalanches are medium-sized and can be released even by a single winter sport participant.
