The fresh wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in northwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2500 m and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases, including medium-sized ones. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Fresh and older wind slabs are in many cases small and can only be released by large loads in most cases. The old snowpack will be quite well bonded. 2018-12-03T16:00:00Z Avalanche Warning Service Trentino Sergio Benigni 2018-12-03T23:00:00Z 2018-12-04T23:00:00Z 2 1 DP1 drifting snow The wind slabs are easy for the trained eye to recognise and to be assessed with care and prudence. The old snowpack remains in most cases well bonded. In some cases various wind slab layers are lying on the smooth surface of an old snowpack. Fresh and older wind slabs represent the main danger. The snowpack remains in most cases favourable. 2018-12-03T16:28:20Z Avalanche Warning Service Tyrol Norbert Lanzanasto 2018-12-03T23:00:00Z 2018-12-04T23:00:00Z 2 1 drifting snow Fresh wind slabs require caution.

In particular in the northwest up to 30 cm of snow. fell above approximately 2000 m. The fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a quite favourable old snowpack. 2018-12-03T16:28:20Z Avalanche Warning Service Tyrol Norbert Lanzanasto 2018-12-03T23:00:00Z 2018-12-04T23:00:00Z 1 n/a DP6 drifting snow From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying in all altitude zones. The avalanche conditions are generally favourable. Currently there are favourable conditions generally. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines in northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2000 m. Wind slabs can in isolated cases be released by large loads. Elsewhere, avalanches can scarcely be released. In the last few days rather small wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines. These have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. Hardly any increase in avalanche danger. 2018-12-03T16:28:20Z Avalanche Warning Service Tyrol Norbert Lanzanasto 2018-12-03T23:00:00Z 2018-12-04T23:00:00Z n/a From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. 2018-12-03T16:28:20Z Avalanche Warning Service Tyrol Norbert Lanzanasto 2018-12-03T23:00:00Z 2018-12-04T23:00:00Z 1 DP6 drifting snow From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying in all altitude zones. The avalanche conditions are generally favourable. Currently there are favourable conditions generally. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines in northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2500 m. Wind slabs can still in isolated cases be released by large loads. Elsewhere, avalanches can scarcely be released. Over a wide area 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell above approximately 2000 m. In the last few days rather small wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines. These have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. Hardly any increase in avalanche danger. 2018-12-03T16:00:00Z Avalanche Warning Service Trentino Sergio Benigni 2018-12-03T23:00:00Z 2018-12-04T23:00:00Z n/a favourable situation 2018-12-03T16:00:00Z Avalanche Warning Service Trentino Sergio Benigni 2018-12-03T23:00:00Z 2018-12-04T23:00:00Z 1 n/a favourable situation The snowpack remains generally well bonded. The snowpack remains favourable at intermediate altitudes. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will soften during the day. The snowpack will be quite stable. 2018-12-03T16:00:00Z Avalanche Warning Service South Tyrol Fabio Gheser 2018-12-03T23:00:00Z 2018-12-04T23:00:00Z 2 n/a drifting snow Below approximately 2500 m hardly any snow is lying. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls in west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. Even a small avalanche can sweep snow sport participants along and give rise to falls. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Below approximately 2400 m a little snow is lying. The conditions are unfavourable for ski touring.
