Isolated avalanche prone locations in persistent weak layer of old snow.
In isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in persistent weak layers on very steep shady slopes. These releases are mostly small-sized. In addition, generally small-sized snowdrift accumulations have been generated at very high altitudes. The risks of falling and sustaining injuries outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.
Snowpack
The snowpack crust - breakable to capable-of-bearing-loads – which is generated during the nocturnal hours softens up during the daytime on sunny slopes, on shady slopes the snowpack surface often remains hard-frozen. Since there is hardly any transportable snow, strong-velocity southerly winds generated only small-sized local snowdrift accumulations. On shady slopes in high alpine regions, isolated weak layers occur inside the snowpack. South-facing slopes are bare of snow up to high altitudes. Only limited information is currently available to the Avalanche Warning Services from outlying terrain.
