Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Gliding snow above 2600m, E-SE-S-SW-W
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-W-NW
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
In some localities increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of fresh snow and strong wind. The fresh wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on west to north to southeast facing aspects, in particular above the tree line. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Individual gliding avalanches are possible, even quite large ones, especially in the regions with a lot of snow below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp 2: gliding snow
5 to 10 cm of snow. will fall. Over a wide area strong southwesterly wind. The fresh wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. They are mostly rather small. The older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. Faceted weak layers exist deep in the old snowpack above approximately 2800 m. The snowpack will be moist below the tree line.
Tendency
Moderate, level 2.
