Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack here. As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular above the tree line. In particular transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are dangerous. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. The various wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in very steep terrain. They are lying on soft layers. On wind-loaded slopes a precarious avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files_local/2019-12-19/2019-12-18_16-00-00/d683c16e-5d8d-4f65-8968-c2d0b3935749.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-12-19?region=d683c16e-5d8d-4f65-8968-c2d0b3935749 2019-12-18T16:00:00Z 2019-12-18T23:00:00Z 2019-12-19T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Texel Mountains Sarntal Alps Southern Stubai Alps considerable 2200 considerable 2 3 3 moderate 1 2 moderate 2200 moderate 2 2 2 moderate 1 2 wind_drifted_snow W N SE SW E NE S NW 2200 gliding_snow W N SE SW E NE S NW 2600 steady 2019-12-19T23:00:00Z 2019-12-20T23:00:00Z Wind slabs require caution. As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong to storm force southwesterly wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. In particular transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are dangerous. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Snow sport activities outside marked and open pistes call for meticulous route selection. The avalanche prone locations are prevalent and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. The wind slabs represent the main danger. As the penetration by moisture increases more small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2600 m. The fresh and older wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. They are lying on soft layers. On wind-loaded slopes a precarious avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. The avalanche conditions are to some extent critical. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files_local/2019-12-19/2019-12-18_16-00-00/f8bcc455-8992-4141-8ddd-aed2c5310a68.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-12-19?region=f8bcc455-8992-4141-8ddd-aed2c5310a68 2019-12-18T16:00:00Z 2019-12-18T23:00:00Z 2019-12-19T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Glockner Range Eastern Deferegger Alps Schober Mountains Lienzer Dolomites Gurgler Range Central Stubai Alps Northern Zillertal Alps Venediger Range Eastern Rieserferner Mountains Sexten Dolomites Eastern Pfunderer Mountains Durreck Range Western Rieserferner Mountains Western Deferegger Alps Ortler Range Schnals Ridge Ulten Valley Southern Zillertal Alps and High Tauern Eastern Nonsberger Alps Northern Dolomites of Fiemme Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge Gröden Dolomites Prags Dolomites Western Pfunderer Mountains moderate moderate 2 2 2 moderate 1 2 dp2 dp6 gliding_snow SE SW W E S 2600 wind_drifted_snow N NE NW 2400 increasing 2019-12-19T23:00:00Z 2019-12-20T23:00:00Z Gliding snow requires caution.

Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. <br/> In addition the fresh and older wind slabs should be taken into account.

This applies in particular on very steep sunny slopes above approximately 2500 m. Avalanches can be released, mostly by large loads and reach medium size. These avalanche prone locations are rare and are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at high altitude. Faceted weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes, in particular above approximately 2500 m. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. At low and intermediate altitudes the snow is moist, also on sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the precipitation. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files_local/2019-12-19/2019-12-18_16-00-00/15e8e8e5-d7fd-4e4e-bfa2-1433e883e879.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-12-19?region=15e8e8e5-d7fd-4e4e-bfa2-1433e883e879 2019-12-18T16:00:00Z 2019-12-18T23:00:00Z 2019-12-19T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Western Tuxer Alps Karwendel Mountains Eastern Tuxer Alps Grieskogel Mountains Eastern Lechtal Alps - Ammergau Alps Mieming Mountains moderate moderate 2 2 2 moderate 1 2 dp2 dp6 gliding_snow SE SW W E S 2600 wind_drifted_snow N NE NW 2400 steady 2019-12-19T23:00:00Z 2019-12-20T23:00:00Z Gliding snow requires caution.
