The fresh snow (around 25cm) from 12.02. fell on a fairly widespread layer of surface hoar! In addition, the wind blew strongly enough to transport snow, and more wind slabs formed. These are currently very prone to triggering. However, the danger spots are mostly small and easy for the attentive observer of the terrain to locate!
The pictures below are from today's snow science excursion to the Kräulscharte!
