Avalanche Activity

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on west to north to east facing aspects above the tree line. These can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant,. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, as well as adjacent to ridgelines. Mostly the avalanches are small. In some places avalanches can be triggered in the old snow. This applies in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of a storm force southerly wind, wind slabs will form. The mostly small wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. These will be deposited on surface hoar especially on wind-protected shady slopes. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones.

Tendency

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.
