Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Slopes adjacent to ridgelines are especially unfavourable. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. <br/> Additionally avalanches can also be released in deep layers. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep, little used shady slopes above approximately 2200 m and on steep sunny slopes above approximately 2500 m. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable. The sometimes large wind slabs of the last few days are poorly bonded with the old snowpack. <br/> Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack, especially on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, as well as on sunny slopes above approximately 2500 m. <br/> The snowpack remains quite prone to triggering. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack are a clear indication. The avalanche danger will decrease gradually. 2023-01-27T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2023-01-27T23:00:00Z 2023-01-28T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 drifting snow steady 2023-01-28T23:00:00Z 2023-01-29T23:00:00Z Moderate avalanche danger will be encountered in some regions. As a consequence of northeasterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last few days in some places. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above the tree line. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The mostly small wind slabs are to be bypassed in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from northeasterly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed. In some cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers. The avalanche danger will persist.
