Treeline


The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days must be evaluated with care and prudence.

Wind slabs can in isolated cases be released. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep shady slopes, as well as adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in particular above the tree line. Mostly avalanches are small.
The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.
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

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

The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. The fresh snow and the wind slabs that are forming during the snowfall must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes.
The old snowpack is faceted. Individual weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on wind-protected shady slopes.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will increase.
