The fresh wind slabs are to be avoided in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches in some places. The older wind slabs can still be released. Caution is to be exercised at their margins in particular, in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches can be released in deep layers especially in the vicinity of peaks. As a consequence of the strong to storm force northwesterly wind the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent on Saturday. The various wind slabs of last week can be released in isolated cases, but mostly only by large additional loads,. They are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at high altitudes. The various wind slabs have bonded quite well together. In little used backcountry terrain the avalanche situation is a little more dangerous. Weak layers in the old snowpack are difficult to recognise. The storm force wind will transport the loosely bonded old snow. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files_local/2020-01-04/2020-01-03_16-00-00/f28e28d9-f0ba-492b-b0e5-5c1c8f2e5eac.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2020-01-04?region=f28e28d9-f0ba-492b-b0e5-5c1c8f2e5eac 2020-01-03T16:00:00Z 2020-01-03T23:00:00Z 2020-01-04T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Latemar Southern Adamello Primiero - Pale di S.

Wind slabs require caution, especially at elevated altitudes adjacent to ridgelines. The older wind slabs are mostly easy to recognise but to be assessed with care and prudence. Even single persons can release avalanches in isolated cases, including medium-sized ones, in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. The avalanche prone locations are to be found also at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack above approximately 2200 m. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual mostly small gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible. Ski touring and other off-piste activities, including snowshoe hiking, call for meticulous route selection, in particular on steep slopes above approximately 2000 m as well as on wind-loaded slopes. As a consequence of the sometimes strong northerly wind the prevalence of avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses. The wind slabs have formed in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line. Faceted weak layers exist deep in the old snowpack at high altitude, especially on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of the sometimes strong northerly wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase on Sunday. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists, in particular on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2200 m. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files_local/2020-01-04/2020-01-03_16-00-00/1c66bd5c-cd10-4390-9a02-edc2b27d8d29.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2020-01-04?region=1c66bd5c-cd10-4390-9a02-edc2b27d8d29 2020-01-03T16:00:00Z 2020-01-03T23:00:00Z 2020-01-04T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Texel Mountains Durreck Range Western Rieserferner Mountains Val Müstair Alps Langtaufers Schnals Ridge Southern Stubai Alps Southern Zillertal Alps and High Tauern moderate treeline moderate 2 2 3 moderate 1 2 low treeline low 2 1 1 low 1 1 wind_drifted_snow N SW NE E S NW SE W treeline persistent_weak_layers N NE E NW SE W 2200 steady 2020-01-04T23:00:00Z 2020-01-05T23:00:00Z The avalanche danger will increase during the day.
