Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are prone to triggering above approximately 2400 m. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In some cases avalanches are medium-sized and can be released easily even by a single winter sport participant.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Wednesday above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate wind from variable directions, avalanche prone wind slabs will form on Wednesday in all aspects. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The old snowpack is largely stable.

Tendency

The weather conditions will bring about a slight settling of the snow drift accumulations in the late morning.
