As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of loose snow avalanches being released will increase significantly on very steep sunny slopes. In addition as the day progresses an increasing number of mostly small natural dry avalanches are possible. A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists, in particular on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2200 m. In some regions 5 cm of snow. will fall above approximately 1800 m. The wind will be moderate for a temporary period. Over a wide area fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack, especially on wind-protected west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. As a consequence of a weakening westerly wind, further wind slabs will form in particular in places that are protected from the wind. <br/> Faceted weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on shady slopes. In some places fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on surface hoar, in particular in places that are protected from the wind in areas close to the tree line.

As a consequence of warming during the day the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. The more recent wind slabs can still be released in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line. As a consequence of warming during the day individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible. They can be released in the weakly bonded old snow in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. In particular transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack where weaknesses exist in the old snowpack are precarious. These places are sometimes covered with fresh snow but are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The strong wind has transported the fresh snow significantly. Especially above the tree line sometimes easily released wind slabs formed. The fresh snow and wind slabs of the last two days are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular here. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Gradual increase in danger of dry and moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files_local/2020-01-31/2020-01-30_16-00-00/555caedf-3327-4cbe-871c-6ec6be14b358.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2020-01-31?region=555caedf-3327-4cbe-871c-6ec6be14b358 2020-01-30T16:00:00Z 2020-01-30T23:00:00Z 2020-01-31T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Prealps Cembra Valley Bondone and Stivo Vallarsa Folgaria - Laverone Southern Lagorai Ledro Valley Paganella Marzola - Valsugana Pine' - Mocheni Valley low low 2 2 1 low 1 1 dp6 wet_snow SW W S SE 2000 wind_drifted_snow S E N SE NW NE treeline steady 2020-01-31T23:00:00Z 2020-02-01T23:00:00Z As a consequence of warming during the day the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. Fresh wind slabs require caution. In these regions the wind slabs have increased in size hardly at all. As a consequence of warming during the day individual mostly small moist and wet avalanches are possible. They can be released in the weakly bonded old snow in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard crust. In particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas mostly small wind slabs formed. The strong wind has transported only a little snow. The fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially here. Gradual increase in danger of dry and moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
