They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Weakly bonded old snow: Dry avalanches can in some places be released in the old snowpack by large loads, especially in little used backcountry terrain. This applies especially on steep shady slopes in particular above approximately 2000 m in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare but are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the prevalence of avalanche prone locations will increase in the afternoon. Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are to be avoided whenever possible in particular on very steep shady slopes and at intermediate and high altitudes. These can be released even by a single winter sport participant. 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 has frozen to form a strong crust 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/2019-02-23/2019-02-22_16-00-00/6eca1b2e-c362-4dd3-bd00-b18ace477edc.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-02-23?region=6eca1b2e-c362-4dd3-bd00-b18ace477edc 2019-02-22T16:00:00Z 2019-02-22T23:00:00Z 2019-02-23T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Lienzer Dolomites Gröden Dolomites Texel Mountains Prags Dolomites Sarntal Alps Sexten Dolomites Ortler Range Schnals Ridge Ulten Valley Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge moderate moderate 3 2 2 low 1 1 dp1 dp6 persistent_weak_layers NE NW N 2000 wind_drifted_snow NW NE N 2200 steady 2019-02-23T23:00:00Z 2019-02-24T23:00:00Z Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.
