Danger level

Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow

 

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.
Wind slabs at high altitude.
Wind slabs in the high Alpine regions. The wind slabs are mostly small but in some cases prone to triggering. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects above approximately 2300 m.
Snowpack
>
Above the tree line there are 5 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. The new snow is lying on soft layers on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Over a wide area from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
As a consequence of the northwesterly wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses.
