Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. 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 in particular above the tree line, and below approximately 2600 m. 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. As a consequence of a strong wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in the last few days. The clearly visible wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects. These are to be bypassed as far as possible. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. 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. The strong wind has transported the fresh and old snow. The fresh and older wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes and generally at elevated altitudes. The rain gave rise on Thursday to significant moistening of the snowpack over a wide area below approximately 2400 m. As a consequence of falling temperatures a crust formed on the surface. On Monday as a consequence of new snow and strong wind there will be an increase in the avalanche danger. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2022-02-20/2022-02-19_16-00-00/d0071c21-31e6-4c36-aebb-2bf06a460369.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2022-02-20?region=d0071c21-31e6-4c36-aebb-2bf06a460369 2022-02-19T16:00:00Z 2022-02-19T23:00:00Z 2022-02-20T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Western Verwall Mountains Eastern Verwall Mountains Silvretta Allgäu Alps Samnaun Mountains Eastern Lechtal Alps - Ammergau Alps Mieming Mountains Karwendel Mountains Brandenberg Alps Western Kitzbühel Alps Wilder Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps Eastern Kitzbühel Alps Western Lechtal Alps Central Lechtal Alps moderate treeline no_rating no_rating moderate treeline no_rating no_rating dp7 dp6 persistent_weak_layers E N NE NW W treeline 2600 moderate moderate 3 2 2 wind_drifted_snow E N NE NW 2200 moderate moderate 2 3 2 gliding_snow E SE N NE NW W S SW 2400 moderate moderate 1 2 increasing 2022-02-20T23:00:00Z 2022-02-21T23:00:00Z Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow represent the main danger.

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. As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force wind from westerly directions, further wind slabs formed. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. More frequent gliding avalanches are to be expected below approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. 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.

They are mostly rather small but in some cases prone to triggering. In its middle, the snowpack is faceted and weak. This applies on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. The high temperatures on Friday gave rise to significant moistening of the snowpack. This applies on steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as in all aspects at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of low temperatures a crust formed on the surface.
