Highlights

As a consequence of a strong wind, wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines on south, east and west facing slopes. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of a strong wind, wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines on south, east and west facing slopes. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in some places. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. In particular, however, the wind slabs of the last few days adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls are capable of being triggered in some locations. (--), caution is to be exercised on wind-loaded slopes in particular above approximately 2600 m, and on steep southeast, south and southwest facing slopes. Avalanches can release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. This applies on steep shady slopes in particular above approximately 2400 m.

Snowpack Structure

Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on little used west, north and east facing slopes. This applies on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. As a consequence of the sometimes strong wind the wind slabs have increased in size. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Below the tree line a little snow is lying.

Tendency

Decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops.
