Avalanche Activity

Cold front brings new fallen snow and storms

The avalanche risk is considerable above 1600 metres and moderate below that. The main problem at all altitudes is wind slab avalanches. Slab avalanches can easily be triggered by individual winter sports enthusiasts. Avalanche prone locations can be found on steep slopes laden with drifting snow in the north-west, north to south aspects, behind slope discontinuities and in gullies and bowls, as well as in forest aisles and clearings. They increase in number and size with altitude. Avalanches reach medium size. Above 1800 m, avalanches on very steep shady slopes can also tear through to deeper weak layers in the old snowpack.

Snowpack Structure

Snow is falling under strong storm conditions from westerly directions and is deposited as wind slab snow on the soft snow surface. Some of the fresh snowdrift accumulations are thick and very prone to triggering. In the upper part of the old snowpack, layers of graupel, surface hoar or thin wind and melt-freeze crusts prone to triggering are embedded in places. Above 1800 m, on shady slopes, there are deeper weak layers of faceted crystals in the snowpack.

Tendency

The avalanche situation will remain tense throughout the week.
