Avalanche Activity

At elevated altitudes the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.

The fresh wind slabs can still be released in some cases in particular on near-ridge shady slopes and generally at elevated altitudes. This applies in particular in case of a large load. Medium-sized avalanches are possible. Avalanches can in very isolated cases be triggered in the old snowpack and reach large size. In all aspects hardly any more gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible as the temperature drops.

Snowpack Structure

The wind slabs have bonded quite well already with the old snowpack. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes.

Tendency

The weather conditions fostered a substantial strengthening of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes.
