Chiemgau Alps East

New snow only little impacted by wind.

New snow only little impacted by wind.

Avalanche danger is low. New fallen snow is problematic. Isolated small loose snow avalanches can trigger spontaneously in extremely steep terrain in all aspects. Number of avalanche prone locations increases with ascending altitude. At higher altitudes, isolated snowdrifts can be triggered as small slab avalanches by a single individual engaged in winter sports in steep N/E-facing terrain.

Some 5cm to 15cm of new snow have fallen accompanied by a little wind. A few more centimeters will fall. Bonding between new snow and old snowpack surface is favorable widespread. At intermediate altitudes, the snow at the surface is slightly moist. At high altitudes it is dry, in wind-impacted areas small snowdrift accumulations can be generated. The snowpack base is wet widespread.

Depending on the wind impact snowdrifts can become a problem.
