Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. <br/> In very isolated cases dry avalanches can also be triggered in the old snowpack, especially on very steep shady slopes at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, this applies in particular in case of a large load. Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow, and up to 50 cm in some localities, has fallen. The fresh wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on the quite favourable surface of an old snowpack on sunny slopes at intermediate altitudes. <br/> In its middle, the snowpack is faceted and weak, especially on shady slopes.

Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released by individual winter sport participants in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies in particular above the tree line, and below approximately 2600 m, in isolated cases also on steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Avalanches can reach large size. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. <br/> Over a wide area easily released wind slabs will form. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in all aspects. Avalanches can penetrate deep layers and reach large size. <br/> As a consequence of the rain more frequent small to medium-sized wet and gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2000 m. As the snowfall level rises these avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line, and below approximately 2600 m, in isolated cases also on sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. <br/> 5 to 10 cm of snow will fall. As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from northwesterly directions, further wind slabs will form. The mostly small wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes and generally at elevated altitudes. Up to 2000 m rain will fall from the afternoon. A sometimes treacherous avalanche situation will persist. Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate defensive route selection. <br/> As a consequence of rising temperatures, rain and the storm force northwesterly wind, the snowpack can not consolidate. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2022-02-16/2022-02-15_16-00-00/3cc82677-fff9-40bc-ab33-540ce3ee0efc.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2022-02-16?region=3cc82677-fff9-40bc-ab33-540ce3ee0efc 2022-02-15T16:00:00.016015Z 2022-02-15T23:00:00Z 2022-02-16T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Prealps Bondone and Stivo Vallarsa Folgaria - Laverone Southern Lagorai Ledro Valley Paganella Marzola - Valsugana Pine' - Mocheni Valley considerable treeline no_rating no_rating low treeline no_rating no_rating dp6 wind_drifted_snow E N SE NE NW W S SW treeline considerable considerable 2 3 3 decreasing 2022-02-16T23:00:00Z 2022-02-17T23:00:00Z Wind slabs require caution. Since yesterday the wind has been moderate to strong in some localities. Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1000 m. On wind-loaded slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain the likelihood of avalanches is higher. In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation individual small and medium-sized slab avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. The new snow is lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on steep shady slopes at high altitude. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2022-02-16/2022-02-15_16-00-00/decf6fc5-5598-4ecc-9514-fdd338ef92f8.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2022-02-16?region=decf6fc5-5598-4ecc-9514-fdd338ef92f8 2022-02-15T16:00:00Z 2022-02-15T23:00:00Z 2022-02-16T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Western Tuxer Alps Eastern Tuxer Alps Glockturm Range Grieskogel Mountains Weißkugel Range Val Müstair Alps Gurgler Range Langtaufers Central Stubai Alps Northern Zillertal Alps Northern Oetz and Stubai Alps considerable treeline no_rating no_rating low treeline no_rating no_rating dp7 dp6 persistent_weak_layers E N NE NW W treeline 2600 considerable considerable 3 3 2 wind_drifted_snow E SE N NE NW W S SW treeline moderate moderate 2 3 2 steady 2022-02-16T23:00:00Z 2022-02-17T23:00:00Z Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack are treacherous.
