Avalanche Problem

Wind slab

2200m


Wet snow



Wind slabs and wet snow represent the main danger.
As a consequence of new snow and a light to moderate wind, mostly small wind slabs formed especially at the southern and eastern borders of Aran. They can be released easily. or in isolated cases naturally,. The avalanche prone locations are to be found at transitions into gullies and bowls and adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas.
Steep sunny slopes as well as base of rock walls: As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small moist snow slides and avalanches are to be expected in all altitude zones.
Wind-protected shady slopes: The new snow remains in some cases prone to triggering. Dry snow slides are possible.
Weak layers in the old snowpack are difficult to recognise. These can in very isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. Avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on little used shady slopes.

Saturday: The weather will be sunny at times. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day.
Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In all regions less snow than usual is lying.

Tendency
Gradual decrease in danger of dry and moist avalanches.
