Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

As a consequence of a strong northwesterly wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. They are to be avoided especially in steep terrain. Avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. The avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.

Snowpack

dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind

The wind was storm force in some cases. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with the old snowpack. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted, especially on wind-protected shady slopes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
