Graie Alps

New snow and wind slabs in the high Alpine regions. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare.

New snow and wind slabs in the high Alpine regions. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare.

5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since yesterday above approximately 2000 m. In some places new snow is lying on an icy crust. The small wind slabs of the last few days can be released in isolated cases on extremely steep shady slopes and generally in high Alpine regions. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

In all aspects as well as in all altitude zones from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. The snowpack is largely stable and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a strong crust. The avalanche prone locations are very rare.
