On wind-loaded slopes a critical avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released easily in all aspects. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized but in many cases easily released. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude. Snow slides and natural avalanches are likely to occur during the day. Caution and restraint are required. Over a wide area over a wide area 15 to 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 500 m. The wind was strong at times in some localities. Over a wide area 20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the evening above approximately 800 m. As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from southeasterly directions, easily released wind slabs will form in all aspects. In many cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers. In some cases new snow and wind slabs are lying on surface hoar. These avalanche prone locations are numerous and are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Stability tests and field observations confirm this situation. In some localities increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and wind. Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2021-01-02/2021-01-01_16-00-00/32b1769f-9e73-4bdc-9b46-0e9b789518a0.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2021-01-02?region=32b1769f-9e73-4bdc-9b46-0e9b789518a0 2021-01-01T16:00:00Z 2021-01-01T23:00:00Z 2021-01-02T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Sexten Dolomites Western Rieserferner Mountains Western Deferegger Alps Ortler Range Ulten Valley Venediger Range Eastern Nonsberger Alps Eastern Rieserferner Mountains Northern Dolomites of Fiemme Glockner Range Gröden Dolomites Eastern Deferegger Alps Prags Dolomites Schober Mountains Lienzer Dolomites considerable no_rating no_rating dp6 dp8 wind_drifted_snow N SE S NW SW E W NE considerable considerable 2 4 2 steady 2021-01-02T23:00:00Z 2021-01-03T23:00:00Z A precarious avalanche situation will prevail. Fresh and older wind slabs are to be critically assessed. As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from southeasterly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs will form in all aspects, caution is to be exercised on steep slopes also below the tree line, in the regions exposed to a lot of wind in particular. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released easily in all aspects. As a consequence of new snow and strong wind the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. Older wind slabs are covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise. <br/> In addition the danger of natural avalanches will increase as the day progresses. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. <br/> Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and natural avalanches serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and great restraint are required. <br/> In regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is slightly greater. 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until Sunday. The southeasterly wind will transport the fresh and old snow. The new snow and wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in all aspects. The upper section of the snowpack is fairly homogeneous and its surface consists of surface hoar. Towards its base, the snowpack is well consolidated. Stability tests and field observations confirm this situation. A precarious avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2021-01-02/2021-01-01_16-00-00/738dc97b-3fcd-45c9-a62a-a7ffb84c5ccd.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2021-01-02?region=738dc97b-3fcd-45c9-a62a-a7ffb84c5ccd 2021-01-01T16:00:00Z 2021-01-01T23:00:00Z 2021-01-02T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Eastern Pfunderer Mountains Durreck Range Weißkugel Range Gurgler Range Central Stubai Alps Schnals Ridge Northern Zillertal Alps Southern Stubai Alps Southern Zillertal Alps and High Tauern Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge Texel Mountains Sarntal Alps Western Pfunderer Mountains considerable treeline no_rating no_rating moderate treeline no_rating no_rating dp6 dp8 wind_drifted_snow N SE S NW SW E W NE treeline considerable considerable 3 3 3 wind_drifted_snow N NW W E NE treeline moderate moderate 2 3 2 steady 2021-01-02T23:00:00Z 2021-01-03T23:00:00Z The current avalanche situation calls for extensive experience and restraint.
