Wind slabs at high altitude. Wet snow requires caution.
More recent wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases at elevated altitudes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are only small.
Little rain has fallen in some regions. This applies especially below approximately 2500 m. Wet avalanches can in very isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. As a consequence of warming, the natural avalanche activity will gradually increase. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2500 m. Mostly wet avalanches are only small.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
A generally clear night. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften during the day.
The old snowpack is wet and its surface has a crust that is not capable of bearing a load. This applies on shady slopes in particular below approximately 2500 m.
Tendency
The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften during the day.
