Avalanche

Strong winds from southerly directions and some precipitation as snow over 100 m.a.s.l will build fresh wind slabs in northerly aspects. These wind slabs are easy to trigger. The increase in weight from newly formed wind slabs will also increase the probability of triggering deeper instabilities. Avoid leeward areas. (NVE)

Strong winds from southerly directions and some precipitation as snow over 200 moh will build fresh wind slabs in norhterly aspects. These wind slabs are easy to trigger. The increase in weight from newly formed wind slabs will also increase the probability of triggering deeper instabilities. Avoid leeward areas. (NVE)

Strong winds from southerly directions and some precipitation as snow over 400 masl will build fresh wind slabs in northerly aspects. We expect spontaneous avalanche activity. The increase in weight from newly formed wind slabs will also increase the probability of triggering deeper instabilities. Avoid leeward areas. (NVE)

Be careful in leeward slopes, wind deposited snow are covering persistent weak layer. Beware of danger signs like shooting cracks and whumpf-sounds. (NVE)
