Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Wind slabs are to be evaluated critically.
As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs will form in particular above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Snow sport activities outside marked and open pistes call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
5 to 10 cm of snow. has fallen since yesterday above approximately 1500 m. Over a wide area up to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The wind will be strong to storm force. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at intermediate and high altitudes. They are bonding poorly with the old snowpack above the tree line.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
