Wind slabs require caution. The fresh snow and wind slabs represent the main danger. In particular slopes adjacent to ridgelines are especially unfavourable. In addition the fresh wind slabs in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain are capable of being triggered in some locations. These can be released by small loads and reach medium size. In some localities 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1500 m. The fresh snow and wind slabs of Monday will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on west to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2000 m. The avalanche danger will persist. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-03-18/2019-03-17_16-00-00/75b335fd-7086-4ccc-9162-41241ea33f18.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-03-18?region=75b335fd-7086-4ccc-9162-41241ea33f18 2019-03-17T16:00:00Z 2019-03-17T23:00:00Z 2019-03-18T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Western Tuxer Alps Glockner Range Eastern Deferegger Alps Eastern Tuxer Alps Schober Mountains Lienzer Dolomites Northern Zillertal Alps Venediger Range Eastern Rieserferner Mountains considerable considerable 2 3 3 moderate 2 1 dp6 dp2 wind_drifted_snow NW NE N 2200 gliding_snow S W SE SW E 2600 decreasing 2019-03-18T23:00:00Z 2019-03-19T23:00:00Z Fresh wind slabs are prone to triggering. As a consequence of fresh snow and a moderate northwesterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form. The fresh wind slabs are in some cases thick and can be released easily. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. At elevated altitudes the likelihood of avalanches being released is greater. In high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are more widespread and exist in all aspects. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists, in particular in the regions with a lot of snow. This applies on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m as well as in all aspects below approximately 2200 m. <br/> Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for caution and restraint. Over a wide area 20 to 30 cm of snow, and up to 40 cm in some localities, will fall. The wind will be moderate. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. They are prone to triggering. The somewhat older wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack. The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes, this also applies on sunny slopes. Decrease in danger of dry avalanches. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-03-18/2019-03-17_16-43-22/6c06ffb7-4a92-40d1-8efb-ddc401c3d4be.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-03-18?region=6c06ffb7-4a92-40d1-8efb-ddc401c3d4be 2019-03-17T16:43:22Z 2019-03-17T23:00:00Z 2019-03-18T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Sexten Dolomites Eastern Pfunderer Mountains Durreck Range Western Rieserferner Mountains Val Müstair Alps Western Deferegger Alps Langtaufers Ortler Range Schnals Ridge Southern Stubai Alps Ulten Valley Southern Zillertal Alps and High Tauern Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge Gröden Dolomites Texel Mountains Prags Dolomites Sarntal Alps Western Pfunderer Mountains considerable considerable 3 3 3 considerable 2 2 wind_drifted_snow S W SE NW NE SW E N 1800 new_snow S W SE NW NE SW E N 1800 steady 2019-03-18T23:00:00Z 2019-03-19T23:00:00Z As a consequence of fresh snow a considerable avalanche danger will still be encountered. The fresh snow is bonding poorly with the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. The sometimes fresh snow-covered wind slabs can be released easily. or in isolated cases naturally, in all aspects. They must be evaluated with care and prudence. Avalanches can in many places be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The conditions are treacherous for ski touring, freeriding and snowshoe hiking. The current avalanche situation calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and restraint. Over a wide area 20 cm of snow, and up to 40 cm in some localities, will fall above approximately 1000 m. The southwesterly wind will transport the fresh snow. The somewhat older wind slabs will be covered with fresh snow and therefore difficult to recognise. They are in many cases extensive and in some cases prone to triggering. Gradual decrease in danger of dry avalanches. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-03-18/2019-03-17_16-00-00/e66c8a8d-a665-4d34-bf6c-9db87d4123c5.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-03-18?region=e66c8a8d-a665-4d34-bf6c-9db87d4123c5 2019-03-17T16:00:00Z 2019-03-17T23:00:00Z 2019-03-18T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Weißkugel Range Western Verwall Mountains Gurgler Range Central Stubai Alps Eastern Verwall Mountains Allgäu Alps Silvretta Samnaun Mountains Eastern Lechtal Alps - Ammergau Alps Northern Oetz and Stubai Alps Mieming Mountains Karwendel Mountains Western Lechtal Alps Central Lechtal Alps Glockturm Range Grieskogel Mountains considerable considerable 2 3 3 moderate 2 1 dp6 dp2 wind_drifted_snow NW NE N 2200 gliding_snow S W SE SW E 2600 decreasing 2019-03-18T23:00:00Z 2019-03-19T23:00:00Z Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

The wind slabs of the last two days are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. These are mostly shallow but in some cases prone to triggering. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in places that are protected from the wind. In regions exposed to heavier precipitation avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. The wind has transported only a little snow. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack on shady slopes, in particular in areas close to the tree line in little used backcountry terrain. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.
