More small and medium-sized gliding avalanches and snow slides are possible in all altitude zones. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. As a consequence of new snow and a gathering strong westerly wind, mostly small wind slabs will form towards the evening. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines. The snowpack is largely stable. The weather conditions gave rise to moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2200 m. As a consequence of new snow and a gathering strong westerly wind, mostly small wind slabs will form towards the evening. A lot of snow is lying for the time of year. The avalanche danger will persist. As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force westerly wind, further wind slabs will form. steady 2023-12-09 DP2 2023-12-08T16:00:00Z 2023-12-08T23:00:00Z 2023-12-09T23:00:00Z Eastern Lechtal Alps Ammergau Alps Kauner Ridge Weißkugel Range Western Verwall Mountains Gurgler Range Eastern Verwall Mountains Central Stubai Alps Silvretta Northern Zillertal Alps Allgäu Alps Samnaun Mountains Mieming Mountains Western Tuxer Alps Eastern Tuxer Alps Western Lechtal Alps Glockturm Range Central Lechtal Alps Kalkkögel Grieskogel Mountains Serles Ridge Kühtai - Geigen Ridge Sellrain - Alpein Mountains Western Karwendel Mountains moderate all_day persistent_weak_layers 2200 SW W NE S N SE E NW all_day fair few 3 gliding_snow 2400 SW W NE S N SE E NW all_day very_poor few 2 wind_slab 2400 NE N SE NW E all_day poor some 2 Weakly bonded old snow and gliding snow require caution. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released especially by large additional loads in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. This applies on very steep slopes above approximately 2200 m. Avalanches can reach large size in isolated cases. Meticulous route selection is recommended. In addition an appreciable danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. The fresh wind slabs are prone to triggering in particular on northwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack in particular above approximately 2200 m. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on near-ridge shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The weather conditions gave rise to moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2200 m. As a consequence of new snow and a gathering strong westerly wind, further wind slabs will form towards the evening. During the course of the night these will increase in size moderately.

The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on a crust below approximately 2600 m. As a consequence of new snow and wind the wind slabs will increase in size moderately towards the evening. Towards its base, the snowpack is moist, in particular below approximately 2400 m.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force wind from northwesterly directions, further wind slabs will form. steady 2023-12-09 DP7 DP6 2023-12-08T16:00:00Z 2023-12-08T23:00:00Z 2023-12-09T23:00:00Z Eastern Deferegger Alps Lienzer Dolomites Prags Dolomites Hirzer Range Mount Saint Jakob Range Southern Sarntal Alps Gröden Dolomites Lüsner Mountains Sexten Dolomites Western Deferegger Alps Primiero - Pale di S.

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs remain in some cases prone to triggering above approximately 2400 m. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The old snowpack is largely stable. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on a crust below approximately 2600 m. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Avalanches can in isolated cases be released, in particular by large loads. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes, and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Mostly avalanches are small. Thus far only a little snow is lying. Wind slabs are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at elevated altitudes. They are mostly small. Fresh wind slabs require caution. steady 2023-12-09
