Danger level

Wind slab

2400m

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

The wind slabs can be released in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack

dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer

Some snow will fall. As a consequence of a light to moderate wind, small wind slabs will form in isolated cases.

In some cases various wind slab layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. This applies in particular on wind-protected shady slopes at elevated altitudes. They are in isolated cases prone to triggering.

The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency

Wind slabs are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Low avalanche danger will persist.

Danger level

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released, but they will be small in most cases. This applies especially on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Snowpack

From a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Danger level

The avalanche prone locations are rare.

The wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on extremely steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. This applies in gullies and bowls. Such avalanche prone locations are rare. Avalanches are small.

Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Snowpack

Some snow will fall in some regions.

The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Steep shady slopes: In isolated cases wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack.

Tendency

A little snow is lying. Low avalanche danger will persist.
