The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. The wind slabs are mostly small. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with fresh snow. This applies in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. As a consequence of warming individual loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small. <br/> Only isolated gliding avalanches are possible, but they can reach medium size, especially in the regions with a lot of snow below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. The wind has transported the fresh and old snow. The sometimes large wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Ortler Range, Weißkugel Range, Gurgler Range and Central Stubai Alps: The wind slabs are covered with fresh snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise, in particular in places that are protected from the wind. The older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. <br/> The old snowpack will be moist below the tree line. Gradual decrease in avalanche danger. 2019-12-03T16:00:00Z 2019-12-03T23:00:00Z 2019-12-04T23:00:00Z 2 1 DP6 DP2 drifting snow gliding snow Wind slabs require caution.

The fresh wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above the tree line. They are mostly easy to recognise but can be released easily. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual gliding avalanches are possible, but they can reach medium size, especially at the base of rock walls and on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. The wind has transported only a little snow. The fresh wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. These are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes above the tree line. The older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. <br/> The old snowpack will be moist below the tree line. Moderate, level 2. Temporary increase in danger of gliding avalanches and snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. 2019-12-03T16:00:00Z 2019-12-03T23:00:00Z 2019-12-04T23:00:00Z 1 DP6 DP2 drifting snow gliding snow Wind slabs above approximately 2400 m. Gliding avalanches and snow slides require caution. The somewhat older wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, especially on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. These are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Avalanches are rather small. In places that are protected from the wind the situation is more favourable. <br/> Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. Over a wide area various wind slab layers are lying on a hard crust. These have bonded well with the old snowpack. The wind slabs are mostly small. The old snowpack will be moist below the tree line. Low, level 1. 2019-12-03T16:00:00Z 2019-12-03T23:00:00Z 2019-12-04T23:00:00Z 1 DP6 DP2 drifting snow gliding snow Wind slabs at high altitude. Slides can occur on steep grassy slopes. Thus far only a little snow is lying. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, especially adjacent to ridgelines. Such avalanche prone locations are rare and are easy to recognise. As a consequence of warming individual loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small. Individual gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible. The snowpack will be in most cases stable. Over a wide area fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on a hard crust. At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. Low, level 1. 2019-12-03T16:00:00Z 2019-12-03T23:00:00Z 2019-12-04T23:00:00Z 1 DP6 DP2 drifting snow gliding snow Wind slabs at high altitude. Slides can occur on steep grassy slopes. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Such avalanche prone locations are rare and are easy to recognise. The mostly small wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, in all aspects above the tree line. Even in moderately steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface, after a clear night in particular. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible, but they will be mostly small.
