The wind slabs represent the main danger.

The wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above the tree line. These can be released even by a single winter sport participant.
The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in all aspects.

Snowpack

dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind

Little snow fell on Monday in some localities. More recent wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack above the tree line. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution and restraint.

Tendency

As a consequence of mild temperatures and the strong to storm force northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form on Thursday.
