Avalanche warning for region Heiane Wednesday 02.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Above approx. 1000 m a.s.l., you will wind recent, wind deposited snow. Where continuous wind slabs are formed, it is possible to release small avalanches. Elsewhere, there is little snow and generally stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new snow
