Graie Alps

The wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, in particular on northeast, east and southeast facing slopes.

The hard wind slabs can be released in particular on steep northeast, east and southeast facing slopes and generally at intermediate and high altitudes. They can as before be released, mostly by large loads and reach medium size. Fresh and older wind slabs have formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.

As a consequence of low temperatures and the occasionally strong northwesterly wind, the snow drift accumulations have increased in size during the last few days. In addition hard wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in the high Alpine regions. Especially in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain snow depths vary greatly on northwest and northeast facing slopes, depending on the infuence of the wind. In particular on steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.
