Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2400m, N-NE-NW
A favourable avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. Fresh wind slabs require caution.
The fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence at high altitude. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in northwest to north to northeast facing aspects. Mostly avalanches are only small but can be released in isolated cases by a single winter sport participant. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.
Dry avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in the old snowpack, mostly by large additional loads, in particular on very steep shady slopes as well as adjacent to ridgelines. Medium-sized avalanches are possible. Transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable.
A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
The wind will transport only a little snow. In some places wind slabs are lying on old snow containing large grains, in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m.
Faceted weak layers exist deeper in the old snowpack in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow, especially on very steep shady slopes.
Tendency
Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming.
