Snowpack Structure Highlights
- Danger Patterns
- loose snow and wind
- shallow snow next to deep snow
Up to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall during the night.
Wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack, especially on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, also on very steep west and east facing slopes above approximately 2500 m, as well as on very steep southeast, south and southwest facing slopes in high Alpine regions.
Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack.
Steep sunny slopes: Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to moistening of the snowpack. In the event of solar radiation this applies in particular.
Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.
The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released easily in some places, especially on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, also on very steep west and east facing slopes above approximately 2500 m, as well as on very steep southeast, south and southwest facing slopes in high Alpine regions. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized avalanches are possible.
Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in near-ground layers. Such avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable.
Moist loose snow slides are possible as the day progresses.
