Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on steep shady slopes at high altitude. Mostly avalanches are small but can be released easily even by a single winter sport participant. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. On steep sunny slopes mostly small moist snow slides are possible.

Snowpack Structure

In some regions 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Friday. As a consequence of the moderate to strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form on Saturday. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

Over a wide area 25 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Sunday above approximately 1500 m. Significant increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and strong wind.
