Places with blowing snow are more dangerous

Places with blowing snow are particularly dangerous, as even a heavy load can trigger a small to medium-sized avalanche. Greater caution is needed in ravines and gullies, where there may be large amounts of blowing snow.

Yesterday there was a moderate to strong northerly wind carrying fresh snow. The snow surface is uneven due to the wind. There is some light snow in sheltered areas, but the snow base is mostly hard and covered with a crust. Greater caution is needed, especially in places where wind has created new snow layers.

Tendency

It's getting warmer. Individual avalanches of southern snow will be possible from Tuesday onwards, especially in the central mountains. Above the forest line, there will still be dangerous spots of blowing snow.
