Avalanche Problem
Wind slab
2000m
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong northwesterly wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form by the early morning. The fresh wind slabs can be released easily by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on wind-protected shady slopes and on near-ridge east and south facing slopes. They are only 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.
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information about the snowpack, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.

Snowpack
>
In particular in the north and in the east 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until Tuesday above approximately 2000 m. The sometimes strong wind will transport the new snow significantly. The wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes.
Above approximately 1700 m there are 20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. Snow depths vary greatly at intermediate and high altitudes, depending on the infuence of the wind. At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency
Wednesday: Significant increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Gradual decrease in danger of dry avalanches on wind-loaded slopes.
