Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger. Small and medium sized dry avalanches are possible.

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger. Small and medium sized dry avalanches are possible.

In the regions of the north that are exposed to the foehn wind 5 to 10 cm of snow fell in the last few days. New snow and wind slabs are lying on old snow containing large grains. Caution is to be exercised on wind-loaded slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In some cases the avalanches are medium-sized and can be released even by a single winter sport participant.

In some regions 10 cm of snow has fallen. The strong wind has transported the new snow. The avalanche-prone wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Avalanches can be released by small loads. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.
