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. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. 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.
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
2 to 10 cm of snow. has fallen since yesterday above approximately 1500 m. 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.
The avalanche danger will persist.
