As a consequence of fresh snow and a moderate to strong wind from variable directions, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Avalanches can be released easily, but they will be small in most cases. Avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. At elevated altitudes the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase. These places are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Wind slabs are to be avoided as far as possible. On steep grassy slopes individual gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. This applies in all aspects. Some snow has fallen. The wind was moderate to strong. Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack represent the main danger. The more recent wind slabs are prone to triggering. No distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. Slight decrease in avalanche danger. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-19/2019-01-18_16-00-00/80679945-be31-412d-acc7-e96e00f19bb2.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-19?region=80679945-be31-412d-acc7-e96e00f19bb2 2019-01-18T16:00:00Z 2019-01-18T23:00:00Z 2019-01-19T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Texel Mountains Durreck Range Western Rieserferner Mountains Val Müstair Alps Western Deferegger Alps Langtaufers Ortler Range Schnals Ridge Southern Stubai Alps Southern Zillertal Alps and High Tauern considerable considerable 3 2 3 moderate 1 2 wind_drifted_snow N E NE NW treeline persistent_weak_layers N E W NE NW treeline steady 2019-01-19T23:00:00Z 2019-01-20T23:00:00Z Restraint is recommended. The extensive wind slabs of last week are lying on weak layers. The sometimes fresh snow-covered wind slabs of recent weeks can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on northwest, north and southeast facing slopes. Avalanches can additionally be released in deeper layers especially at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm sign. 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. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with each other and the old snowpack. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack. In some cases avalanches can penetrate even deep layers and reach large size in isolated cases. Weak layers deep in the old snowpack necessitate defensive route selection. The weather will be cold. Hardly any decrease in danger of gliding avalanches. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-19/2019-01-18_16-00-00/b9d66865-47a3-4525-8f64-0a9f8970aec3.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-19?region=b9d66865-47a3-4525-8f64-0a9f8970aec3 2019-01-18T16:00:00Z 2019-01-18T23:00:00Z 2019-01-19T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Gurgler Range Central Stubai Alps considerable considerable 3 2 3 moderate 1 2 dp4 dp6 persistent_weak_layers SE N E W S NE NW SW 1600 wind_drifted_snow SE N E W S NE NW SW treeline steady 2019-01-19T23:00:00Z 2019-01-20T23:00:00Z Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

In all aspects avalanches can be triggered in deep layers of the snowpack and reach large size in some cases, this applies even in case of a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in areas close to the tree line as well as above the tree line. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. In addition the mostly small wind slabs in particular adjacent to ridgelines and generally at elevated altitudes are easily triggered.
