Pay attention to fresh snowdrifts

Fresh snowdriftrs. Isolated danger zones in gullies and bowls.

Fresh snowdrift accumulations are mostly small, triggerable only in isolated cases, esp. on wind-protected shady slopes at high altitude. Caution urged in transitions into gullies and bowls. These danger zones occur selcom. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, adequate consideration must be given to the dangers of being swept along and forced to take a fall.

Up to 10cm of fresh snow is expected regionally, locally more. Due to moderate northerly winds, mostly small snowdrift accumulations will be generated. Inside the snowpack, esp. on shady slopes, are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers.
