Fresh snow and wind slabs represent the main danger. As a consequence of fresh snow and wind the wind slabs will increase in size additionally. The fresh snow and wind slabs can be released very easily in all aspects and generally above the tree line. In addition numerous medium-sized to large natural avalanches are to be expected. Dry avalanches can in isolated cases release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach very large size in isolated cases. Avalanches can reach valley bottoms and in some places endanger exposed transportation routes. The conditions are dangerous for winter sport activities outside marked and open pistes. Below the tree line the situation is a little more favourable. In some regions over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell. The wind was strong to storm force. The snowpack will be generally prone to triggering. Over a wide area fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers. The extensive wind slabs can be released easily or naturally in all aspects above the tree line. This also applies on steep slopes in areas close to the tree line. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist deeper in the snowpack in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes, especially in the Tuxer Alps, in the Northern Oetz and Stubai Alps and along the border with South Tyrol. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases and mostly by large additional loads. Hardly any decrease in danger of dry avalanches as the snowfall eases. The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes remain very dangerous. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-07/2019-01-06_16-00-00/b59dd982-53b0-4715-817b-fec15f2409bf.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-07?region=b59dd982-53b0-4715-817b-fec15f2409bf 2019-01-06T16:00:00Z 2019-01-06T23:00:00Z 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Durreck Range Val Müstair Alps Langtaufers Southern Zillertal Alps and High Tauern high high 3 4 3 considerable 2 2 wind_drifted_snow SE E S NW NE W SW N 1600 decreasing 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z The avalanche conditions remain critical. Remotely triggered and natural avalanches are possible. In particular in the regions with a lot of snow only isolated medium-sized to large dry slab avalanches are possible in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place. With the end of the snowfall, the natural avalanche activity will gradually decrease. Exposed transportation routes can be endangered very occasionally. Mostly avalanches are shallow and can be released easily by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are widespread and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Ski touring and other off-piste activities, including snowshoe hiking, call for great caution and restraint. The sometimes large wind slabs of last week are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. In particular in the Southern Zillertal Alps and High Tauern, in the Val Müstair Alps and in the Langtaufers they have increased in size substantially. For those venturing off piste a very precarious avalanche situation will prevail. The wind will be moderate to strong. Gradual decrease in avalanche danger as the precipitation eases. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-07/2019-01-06_16-00-00/0cde7bf7-fe28-4580-9f0f-cc647a786510.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-07?region=0cde7bf7-fe28-4580-9f0f-cc647a786510 2019-01-06T16:00:00Z 2019-01-06T23:00:00Z 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Western Lechtal Alps Central Lechtal Alps Western Verwall Mountains Eastern Verwall Mountains Allgäu Alps Silvretta Samnaun Mountains Eastern Lechtal Alps - Ammergau Alps Mieming Mountains high high 3 4 3 considerable 2 3 dp6 dp1 wind_drifted_snow SE E S NW NE W SW N treeline persistent_weak_layers SE E S NW NE W SW N 2200 steady 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z Fresh wind slabs are very prone to triggering in all aspects above the tree line. Avalanches can in some places be released in the old snowpack also. As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong to storm force northwesterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last few days. Fresh snow and wind slabs can in many places be released by small loads and reach dangerously large size. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in all aspects above the tree line. At elevated altitudes avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is greater. In addition in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas, medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large natural avalanches are to be expected. Weakly bonded old snow: Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep slopes above approximately 2200 m. On very steep west, north and east facing slopes the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released easily especially in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow, this applies even in case of a small load. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for very extensive experience and great restraint. Below the tree line the situation is a little more favourable. The danger exists in particular in alpine snow sports terrain. Numerous medium-sized and large natural avalanches are to be expected. In isolated cases, however, very large avalanches capable of endangering exposed parts of transportation routes are also possible. Over a wide area 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell, in particular in the Lechtal Alps, in the Verwall Mountains and in the Allgäu Alps. The wind was strong to storm force. The fresh snow and wind slabs of the last few days will be deposited on soft layers. Extensive wind slabs formed. They are prone to triggering in all aspects. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies especially on very steep east, north and west facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Hardly any decrease in avalanche danger as the snowfall eases. A few wet avalanches are to be expected. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-07/2019-01-06_16-00-00/9887748e-7cd1-41c3-ba1c-0895ce52db0f.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-07?region=9887748e-7cd1-41c3-ba1c-0895ce52db0f 2019-01-06T16:00:00Z 2019-01-06T23:00:00Z 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Western Kitzbühel Alps Wilder Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps Eastern Kitzbühel Alps Northern Zillertal Alps Venediger Range high high 3 4 3 considerable 2 3 dp6 dp3 wind_drifted_snow SE E S NW NE W SW N treeline wet_snow SE E S NW NE W SW N treeline steady 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z As a consequence of fresh snow and wind a high avalanche danger will persist. Exposed transportation routes can be endangered. As a consequence of fresh snow and wind the already large wind slabs will increase in size additionally. The fresh snow and wind slabs can be released easily or naturally in all aspects above the tree line. This also applies on steep slopes in areas close to the tree line. More medium-sized and large natural avalanches are to be expected. Especially in the Zillertal Alps and in the High Tauern the dry avalanches can penetrate even deep layers and reach very large size. Exposed transportation routes in particular can be endangered. The conditions are very dangerous for snow sport activities outside marked and open pistes. As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase appreciably in all regions below the tree line. Over a wide area 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1000 m. The wind will be strong to storm force. The snowpack will be generally prone to triggering. Over a wide area fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Much of the fresh and wind-drifted snow of the last few days can be released easily or naturally in all aspects above the tree line. This also applies in areas close to the tree line. Faceted weak layers exist deep in the old snowpack in particular in the Northern Zillertal Alps and in the High Tauern.
