Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2400m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind, sometimes deep wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. The wind slabs represent the main danger. They can be released even by a single winter sport participant. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. They are quite prevalent and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Snow sport activities outside marked and open pistes call for meticulous route selection. As the penetration by moisture increases more small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m.
Snowpack
The mostly small wind slabs of the last few days represent the main danger. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 1800 m. Below approximately 2400 m the snow is moist. Below approximately 1800 m the snow is wet.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
