The extensive wind slabs of last week are lying on weak layers. The deep wind slabs can be released easily especially on northwest to north to southeast facing aspects. Caution is to be exercised at their margins in particular. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm sign. From origins in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place individual natural avalanches are possible, even large ones in isolated cases. On steep grassy slopes individual small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. The mostly small wind slabs of Thursday are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in all aspects at intermediate and high altitudes. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack. The wind slabs have bonded quite well already together. In some cases avalanches can penetrate even deep layers and reach large size in isolated cases. The weather will be partly cloudy. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-18/2019-01-17_16-00-00/a0514d9a-4437-4684-9f90-d4bc611f6084.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-18?region=a0514d9a-4437-4684-9f90-d4bc611f6084 2019-01-17T16:00:00Z 2019-01-17T23:00:00Z 2019-01-18T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Eastern Deferegger Alps Schober Mountains Eastern Rieserferner Mountains considerable considerable 2 3 3 moderate 1 2 dp4 dp6 persistent_weak_layers SE N E W S NE NW SW 1600 wind_drifted_snow SE E W S SW treeline steady 2019-01-18T23:00:00Z 2019-01-19T23:00:00Z Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack can be released easily.

Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the early morning. The wind will be moderate to strong. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Large-grained weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. The wind slabs have bonded insufficiently with the old snowpack.
