Avalanche Activity

New snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.

Medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large natural avalanches are not ruled out, in particular in case of releases originating from steep starting zones above approximately 2500 m. In the last few days sometimes easily released wind slabs formed at elevated altitudes. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches, including medium-sized ones. In some places avalanches can also penetrate down to the ground and reach large size in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The current avalanche situation calls for caution and restraint.

Snowpack Structure

30 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Monday above approximately 2300 m. The sleet gave rise to rapid settling of the snowpack below approximately 2200 m. As a consequence of falling temperatures a crust will form on the surface. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Snow depths vary greatly at intermediate and high altitudes, depending on the infuence of the wind.
