Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Wind slabs require caution.
The wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The mostly small wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In addition as the day progresses on south facing slopes, very occasional mostly small loose snow avalanches are possible.
Snowpack Structure
The wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes.
Tendency
Wind slabs require caution.
