The somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can reach medium size. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The wind slabs are to be bypassed as far as possible. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly together, in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. <br/> In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack on very steep shady slopes. This applies in particular on the Main Alpine Ridge. The weather conditions will give rise to gradual moistening of the snowpack over a wide area below approximately 2600 m. The danger of dry avalanches will decrease gradually. 2023-04-17T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2023-04-17T22:00:00Z 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 DP2 drifting snow steady 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z 2023-04-19T22:00:00Z Wind slabs represent the main danger. The somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Avalanches can reach medium size. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The wind slabs are to be bypassed as far as possible. As a consequence of solar radiation only isolated mostly small loose snow avalanches are possible, especially on extremely steep sunny slopes. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly together, in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. <br/> In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack on very steep shady slopes. This applies in particular on the Main Alpine Ridge. The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to gradual moistening of the snowpack over a wide area below approximately 2600 m. The danger of dry avalanches will decrease gradually. The somewhat older wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering at elevated altitudes. 2023-04-17T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2023-04-17T22:00:00Z 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 DP4 old snow steady 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z 2023-04-19T22:00:00Z Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Avalanches can in isolated cases be released, even by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep terrain above approximately 2400 m. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase in the high Alpine regions. These places are sometimes covered with new snow and are difficult to recognise. <br/> In isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size, especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. The snowpack will be prone to triggering in some places. In some places new snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly together, in particular at elevated altitudes. <br/> Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack on very steep west, north and east facing slopes, especially above approximately 2400 m on the Main Alpine Ridge. The weather conditions gave rise to slight moistening of the snowpack over a wide area below approximately 2600 m. The weather conditions will bring about a gradual strengthening of the snowpack. 2023-04-17T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2023-04-17T22:00:00Z 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP2 steady 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z 2023-04-19T22:00:00Z The conditions are spring-like. For those venturing off piste a quite favourable avalanche situation will prevail. <br/> Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks, especially on steep grassy slopes in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. The snowpack will be increasingly stable. The various wind slabs have bonded quite well together. The spring-like weather conditions gave rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in all aspects. The weather conditions will bring about a rapid strengthening of the snowpack. 2023-04-17T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2023-04-17T22:00:00Z 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP6 steady 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z 2023-04-19T22:00:00Z The conditions are generally favourable. The somewhat older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes, especially at transitions into gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are only small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. The snowpack will be quite well bonded. In isolated cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers, in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to gradual moistening of the snowpack. Low avalanche danger will prevail. 2023-04-17T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2023-04-17T22:00:00Z 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP2 steady 2023-04-18T22:00:00Z 2023-04-19T22:00:00Z The conditions are generally favourable. The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs can be released in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes, especially at transitions into gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are only small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. <br/> On extremely steep slopes individual moist and wet snow slides are possible, but they will be mostly small. The snowpack will be quite well bonded. In isolated cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers, in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is now lying. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to gradual moistening of the snowpack. Low avalanche danger will prevail.
