Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2000m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Persistent weak layer above 2000m, N-NE-NW
The violent wind will transport only a little snow.
Currently there are favourable conditions over a wide area. As a consequence of a strengthening wind from northwesterly directions, mostly shallow wind slabs will form as the day progresses in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The fresh wind slabs can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Avalanche prone weak layers exist deep in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow, mostly by large additional loads in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. At elevated altitudes avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.
Snowpack
The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust.
The wind will be moderate to strong. The weather will be cold. The mostly shallow wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in extremely steep terrain.
Tendency
The backcountry and freeriding conditions are generally favourable. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
