Fresh wind slabs can be released easily. This applies in particular in areas close to the tree line as well as above the tree line. Gliding avalanches can be released at any time of day or night. As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong to storm force northwesterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form from the second half of the night. Wind slabs can in many places be released by small loads or triggered naturally. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above the tree line,, also in areas close to the tree line. These places are numerous and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses. As the snowfall becomes heavier, the likelihood of natural dry avalanches being released will increase. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. Gliding avalanches are also to be expected at any time. This applies on steep grassy slopes and on sunny slopes. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for extensive experience and great restraint. The danger exists primarily in alpine snow sports terrain. 15 to 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The wind will be strong to storm force over a wide area. Avalanche prone wind slabs will form. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers. This applies in particular above the tree line. The snowpack will be moist at low altitude. The avalanche danger will increase but remain within the current danger level. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-08/2019-01-07_17-33-42/072dea32-1bac-47a6-bdf0-0d1aec93b532.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-08?region=072dea32-1bac-47a6-bdf0-0d1aec93b532 2019-01-07T17:33:42Z 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Western Verwall Mountains Eastern Verwall Mountains Allgäu Alps Silvretta Samnaun Mountains Eastern Lechtal Alps - Ammergau Alps Mieming Mountains Karwendel Mountains Brandenberg Alps Wilder Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps Eastern Kitzbühel Alps Western Lechtal Alps Central Lechtal Alps high high 2 4 3 considerable 2 2 dp6 dp2 wind_drifted_snow SE E S NW NE W SW N treeline gliding_snow SE E S W SW 2400 increasing 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z 2019-01-09T23:00:00Z As a consequence of fresh snow and strong wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses.

Below approximately 2400 m medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large gliding avalanches are to be expected. This applies on steep grassy slopes and on sunny slopes.

As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong to storm force wind from northwesterly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs will form in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain as well as above the tree line. Avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. At elevated altitudes and in the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 4 (high) avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is greater. Weakly bonded old snow: Weakly bonded old snow above approximately 2200 m. Avalanches can in some places be released, mostly by large loads. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and restraint. Up to 10 cm of snow. will fall. The wind will be strong to storm force over a wide area. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches easily. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack, in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Wind and fresh snow: Above the tree line a considerable avalanche danger will persist. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-08/2019-01-07_16-00-00/3c7e09ad-ebe4-41f4-ad9a-259e1482262a.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-08?region=3c7e09ad-ebe4-41f4-ad9a-259e1482262a 2019-01-07T16:00:00Z 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Texel Mountains Western Pfunderer Mountains Eastern Pfunderer Mountains Durreck Range Western Rieserferner Mountains Val Müstair Alps Western Deferegger Alps Langtaufers Schnals Ridge Southern Stubai Alps Southern Zillertal Alps and High Tauern Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge considerable considerable 3 3 3 moderate 1 2 wind_drifted_snow SE E S NW NE W SW N treeline increasing 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z 2019-01-09T23:00:00Z Extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger is required. As a consequence of fresh snow and strong wind the wind slabs will increase in size once again as the day progresses. These can in many cases be released by small loads. Especially on wind-loaded slopes medium-sized natural avalanches must be expected in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes above the tree line. Especially in the north and in the northeast avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is greater. They are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Additionally avalanches can be released in the old snowpack and reach large size in isolated cases. The conditions are sometimes critical for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities. Especially along the border with Tirol up to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The sometimes strong wind will transport the fresh snow. Over a wide area fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack. The snowpack will be generally prone to triggering. Increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of fresh snow and strong wind. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-08/2019-01-07_16-00-00/91ecef79-f168-433b-9e08-1f9a84c71aa8.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-08?region=91ecef79-f168-433b-9e08-1f9a84c71aa8 2019-01-07T16:00:00Z 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Southern Adamello Primiero - Pale di S.

As a consequence of northerly wind, mostly small wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls as well as above approximately 2300 m. They are in many cases rather small but can only be released by large loads in most cases. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is greater. These avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. 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. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard crust. Below approximately 2300 m a little snow is lying. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations above approximately 2500 m. The mostly small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 2500 m. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes. The avalanche danger will persist. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-08/2019-01-07_16-00-00/13dac736-48fe-4bb2-a706-ab7953779052.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-08?region=13dac736-48fe-4bb2-a706-ab7953779052 2019-01-07T16:00:00Z 2019-01-07T23:00:00Z 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Sarntal Alps Ortler Range Ulten Valley moderate moderate 2 3 2 moderate 1 2 wind_drifted_snow SE E S NW NE W SW N 2200 steady 2019-01-08T23:00:00Z 2019-01-09T23:00:00Z Wind slabs require caution.
