Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs require caution. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found at elevated altitudes.

The fresh and older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls at elevated altitudes. The prevalence of such avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Mostly avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on wind-protected northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. In all altitude zones a little snow is lying. Hardly any snow is lying on south facing slopes.

Tendency

Low avalanche danger will persist.
