As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from westerly directions, easily released wind slabs will form. The older wind slabs can still be released by a single winter sport participant. These places are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 1600 m. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate deep layers and reach large size. <br/> Dry avalanches can additionally in isolated cases be released in the weakly bonded old snow by small loads, especially at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. These avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. They are to be found in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. 5 to 10 cm of snow will fall. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers above approximately 1600 m. <br/> Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack. Backcountry touring and snowshoe hiking call for defensive route selection. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2021-02-16/2021-02-15_16-00-00/2964a3d0-9d27-44eb-bac4-cb3d34fcb057.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2021-02-16?region=2964a3d0-9d27-44eb-bac4-cb3d34fcb057 2021-02-15T16:00:00Z 2021-02-15T23:00:00Z 2021-02-16T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Gröden Dolomites Prags Dolomites Sarntal Alps Western Pfunderer Mountains Sexten Dolomites Eastern Pfunderer Mountains Western Rieserferner Mountains Western Deferegger Alps Ulten Valley Eastern Nonsberger Alps Northern Dolomites of Fiemme Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge moderate treeline no_rating no_rating moderate treeline no_rating no_rating dp6 wind_drifted_snow SE E SW W NW S N NE treeline moderate moderate 2 3 2 persistent_weak_layers SE E SW W NW S N NE 2000 moderate moderate 3 2 2 gliding_snow SE E SW W S 2400 moderate moderate 1 2 steady 2021-02-16T23:00:00Z 2021-02-17T23:00:00Z Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

This applies in particular on very steep slopes, and adjacent to ridgelines. <br/> Avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate deep layers and reach quite a large size. Weak layers in the old snowpack are difficult to recognise. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. <br/> Slight increase in danger of dry and moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. An appreciable danger of gliding avalanches exists. Backcountry touring calls for extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection. The fresh wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering in particular on steep shady slopes. This also applies in gullies and bowls below the tree line. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly. <br/> Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack in particular above the tree line. <br/> Towards its base, the snowpack is moist and its surface has a melt-freeze crust, in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures the snowpack will consolidate during the next few days.
