As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the prevalence of avalanche prone locations will increase in the afternoon. The wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes. These can be released, especially by large additional loads,. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable conditions generally, but the avalanche danger will increase later. Moist avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach large size in particular on sunny slopes. Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be started very early and concluded timely. The snowpack will become in most cases well bonded. The surface of the snowpack will freeze, but a strong crust will not form and will soften during the day. Wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on extremely steep, rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular here. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist loose snow avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on rocky sunny slopes below approximately 2500 m. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-02-21/2019-02-20_16-00-00/0a157573-2695-4be7-afde-d5aebd75350b.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-02-21?region=0a157573-2695-4be7-afde-d5aebd75350b 2019-02-20T16:00:00Z 2019-02-20T23:00:00Z 2019-02-21T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Glockner Range Eastern Deferegger Alps Schober Mountains Eastern Rieserferner Mountains Western Pfunderer Mountains Eastern Pfunderer Mountains Durreck Range Western Rieserferner Mountains Val Müstair Alps Western Deferegger Alps Langtaufers Southern Stubai Alps Southern Zillertal Alps and High Tauern low low 2 2 1 dp1 dp2 gliding_snow SW E SE S W 2600 persistent_weak_layers NE NW N 2000 2600 steady 2019-02-21T23:00:00Z 2019-02-22T23:00:00Z Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
