Avalanche Activity

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

Distinct weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can be released very easily. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects above the tree line. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Such avalanche prone locations are widespread but are barely recognisable. Mostly avalanches are small. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger.

Snowpack Structure

10 to 15 cm of snow fell in the last two days. The wind will be strong. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Steep north facing slopes: The old snowpack is very weak; its surface is loosely bonded and consists of surface hoar and faceted crystals. Steep east, south and west facing slopes: The old snowpack is faceted and its surface has a crust that is barely capable of bearing a load.

Tendency

Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and wind.
