Avalanche Activity

Little wind slab, but avoid it!

The avalanche risk is moderate above the tree line and low below it. The main problem is fresh wind slab. Small slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads in steep terrain adjacent to ridgelines in the north-west to north to south-east aspect as well as in gullies and bowls. Occasionally, deeper weak layers in the persistent weak layer can be disturbed and avalanches can reach medium size.

Snowpack Structure

Above the tree line, fresh wind slab snow is deposited on variously crusted can forms, partly on soft snow. Angular snow crystals have formed widely below the layers of hard snow. The snowpack base often consists of gritty floating snow. On the south side, some new fallen snow covers the snow-covered ground.

Tendency

No change in the avalanche risk is expected for the time being.
