Wind slab

2000m

Wet snow

 

This is the final hazard map for the winter 2023/24.
Wind slabs above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of solar radiation moist avalanches are possible.
The deep wind slabs can be released easily. or in isolated cases naturally, in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. In isolated cases avalanches are large.
As a consequence of solar radiation numerous small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist avalanches are possible in all altitude zones.
The conditions are unfavourable for backcountry touring in steep terrain.
Snowpack
>
40 to 60 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 1800 m. The wind was strong adjacent to ridgelines. Above approximately 2000 m there are 40 to 120 cm of snow, and even more in some localities.
Tendency
Monday: The danger will not decrease for the time being.
Danger level

Avalanche Problem
Wind slab

2300m

Wet snow

 

This is the final hazard map for the winter 2023/24.
Wind slabs at high altitude. As a consequence of solar radiation moist avalanches are possible.
The mostly small wind slabs can be released easily by a single winter sport participant in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2300 m.
As a consequence of solar radiation numerous small moist avalanches are possible in all altitude zones.
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.
Snowpack
>
10 to 20 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 2000 m. The wind was strong adjacent to ridgelines. On shady slopes above approximately 2000 m there are 20 to 60 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. On sunny slopes from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
Monday: The danger of dry avalanches will increase during the day.
