Avalanches can in many places be released very easily and reach large size in isolated cases. Natural avalanches are possible. As a consequence of the sometimes strong wind the wind slabs will increase in size additionally as the day progresses. The avalanche prone locations are covered with new snow and are difficult to recognise. In the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 4 (high) the avalanche danger is higher. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. Over a wide area 10 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Wednesday, in particular in the north and in the northwest. In the southeast a little new snow. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals; its surface is loosely bonded and consists of surface hoar and faceted crystals. The sometimes storm force wind has transported the new snow and, in some cases, old snow as well. The brittle wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers in all aspects. Precarious weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack. The avalanche conditions are to some extent precarious.

The fresh and older wind slabs represent the main danger. The new snow and wind slabs are prone to triggering in all aspects above approximately 1600 m. Avalanches can in many places be released easily and reach medium size. Avalanches can additionally be released in deeper layers also. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. Especially places where surface hoar has been covered with snow are treacherous. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. In addition an appreciable danger of gliding avalanches exists. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger. Meticulous route selection is important. The strong wind has transported some snow. The brittle wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack. Precarious weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack. As a consequence of low temperatures the snowpack can not consolidate. Hardly any decrease in avalanche danger. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2021-01-16/2021-01-15_16-00-00/cf091960-2629-4246-bab9-57e99c297b5d.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2021-01-16?region=cf091960-2629-4246-bab9-57e99c297b5d 2021-01-15T16:00:00Z 2021-01-15T23:00:00Z 2021-01-16T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Western Nonsberg Alps Latemar Eastern Nonsberger Alps Northern Dolomites of Fiemme considerable treeline no_rating no_rating low treeline no_rating no_rating dp6 dp8 wind_drifted_snow N NW SE S SW E W NE treeline considerable considerable 2 3 3 persistent_weak_layers N SE S NW SW E W NE 2200 moderate moderate 2 3 2 steady 2021-01-16T23:00:00Z 2021-01-17T23:00:00Z A dangerous avalanche situation will prevail.
