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 isolated cases. 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/2019-02-26/2019-02-25_16-09-30/c9060c26-0855-4731-b921-d6b60a4a3e40.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-02-26?region=c9060c26-0855-4731-b921-d6b60a4a3e40 2019-02-25T16:09:30Z 2019-02-25T23:00:00Z 2019-02-26T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Weißkugel Range Western Verwall Mountains Gurgler Range Central Stubai Alps Eastern Verwall Mountains Northern Zillertal Alps Allgäu Alps Silvretta Venediger Range Samnaun Mountains Eastern Lechtal Alps - Ammergau Alps Northern Oetz and Stubai Alps Mieming Mountains Western Tuxer Alps Karwendel Mountains Eastern Tuxer Alps Western Lechtal Alps Central Lechtal Alps Glockturm Range Grieskogel Mountains low low 1 2 1 low 1 1 dp2 dp6 gliding_snow SW E SE S W 2400 increasing 2019-02-26T23:00:00Z 2019-02-27T23:00:00Z Gliding snow is to be evaluated critically.
