Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2200m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Fresh snow and wind slabs require caution. The avalanches can occur easily or triggered naturally.
As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong to storm force wind from southerly directions, easily released wind slabs formed in all aspects. Significant increase in avalanche danger in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Fresh snow and wind slabs can be released, even by a single winter sport participant. Especially from starting zones at higher altitudes medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large natural avalanches are possible. Below approximately 2200 m medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large gliding avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp 2: gliding snow
In some localities 10 to 30 cm of snow. has fallen thus far above approximately 1800 m. In many cases fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on a moist old snowpack. 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall in the next few hours above approximately 1600 m. The wind will be strong to storm force in the vicinity of peaks. During the night the wind slabs will increase in size once again.
Tendency
The conditions are unfavourable for ski touring, freeriding and snowshoe hiking. Fresh snow and wind slabs require caution. In the regions where more snow falls the avalanche danger is greater.
