Fresh wind slabs are to be avoided. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. The fresh wind slabs can in many places be released very easily and reach medium size. Places where surface hoar has been covered with snow are especially dangerous. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects, also below the tree line. These places are sometimes covered with fresh snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. In particular in areas close to the tree line and above the tree line avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. In addition there is a danger of gliding avalanches. This applies on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m as well as on sunny slopes. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Snow sport activities outside marked and open pistes call for extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and great restraint. The fresh wind slabs are to be avoided. The avalanche situation is more favourable in highly frequented off-piste terrain. 10 to 20 cm of snow, and up to 30 cm in some localities, will fall until the early morning. The wind will be strong. The fresh wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack. They are lying on soft layers. They are lying on surface hoar, also adjacent to ridgelines. No distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack.

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. Dry avalanches can in isolated cases be released in near-ground layers. The fresh wind slabs can in many places be released very easily and reach medium size. Places where surface hoar has been covered with snow are especially dangerous. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects, in particular on wind-loaded slopes as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In areas close to the tree line and above the tree line avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Dry avalanches can in some places be released in near-ground layers, this applies in particular in case of a large load. Caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep shady slopes between approximately 2200 and 2600 m at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Especially in the Central Stubai Alps avalanche prone locations are more widespread and the danger is greater. In particular areas where the snow cover is rather shallow are unfavourable. In addition there is a danger of gliding avalanches. This applies on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Snow sport activities outside marked and open pistes call for extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and restraint. 5 to 10 cm of snow. fell. The wind will be moderate to strong in some regions. Fresh wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack. They are lying on soft layers. They are lying on surface hoar, also adjacent to ridgelines. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack. The fresh wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-29/2019-01-28_16-00-00/95d88803-a241-43a6-96ea-5ea50107825b.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-29?region=95d88803-a241-43a6-96ea-5ea50107825b 2019-01-28T16:00:00Z 2019-01-28T23:00:00Z 2019-01-29T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Glockner Range Eastern Deferegger Alps Schober Mountains Eastern Rieserferner Mountains considerable considerable 2 4 2 moderate 1 2 dp5 dp1 wind_drifted_snow SE N E W S NE NW SW treeline persistent_weak_layers N E W NE NW 1800 2500 steady 2019-01-29T23:00:00Z 2019-01-30T23:00:00Z Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from variable directions, easily released wind slabs will form in all aspects. This applies in particular in areas close to the tree line as well as above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on wind-loaded slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Additionally dry avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack and reach quite a large size. In particular transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are dangerous. These avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Individual gliding avalanches can also occur. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection. Over a wide area 10 to 15 cm of snow. fell. The wind will be strong, especially in the Eastern Rieserferner Mountains, in the Glockner Range and in the Schober Mountains. The snowpack will be quite prone to triggering. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects. Precarious weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes. This applies in particular between approximately 1800 and 2500 m. The snowpack remains quite prone to triggering. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-01-29/2019-01-28_16-00-00/8b25904c-76bf-48bc-bf8a-dccf42eb989e.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-01-29?region=8b25904c-76bf-48bc-bf8a-dccf42eb989e 2019-01-28T16:00:00Z 2019-01-28T23:00:00Z 2019-01-29T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Eastern Verwall Mountains Northern Zillertal Alps Venediger Range Samnaun Mountains Eastern Lechtal Alps - Ammergau Alps Mieming Mountains Western Tuxer Alps Karwendel Mountains Eastern Tuxer Alps Brandenberg Alps Western Kitzbühel Alps Wilder Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps Eastern Kitzbühel Alps Central Lechtal Alps considerable considerable 2 4 2 moderate 2 1 dp5 dp2 wind_drifted_snow SE N E S W NE NW SW treeline gliding_snow SE E S W SW 2400 steady 2019-01-29T23:00:00Z 2019-01-30T23:00:00Z The current avalanche situation calls for restraint.

These remain prone to triggering on west to north to east facing aspects, especially between approximately 1800 and 2500 m. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.
