Avalanche Activity
Danger of taking a fall outweighs that of being buried in snow
Avalanche danger is low. Particularly on very steep shady slopes above the timberline, slab avalanches can be triggered in isolated cases by minimum additional loading. Releases are mostly small-sized. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall need to be taken into consideration.
Snowpack Structure
Mostly shallow snowdrift masses lie deposited on shaday slopes, often atop a weak, heavily faceted and expansively metamorphosed layer of old snow.
