Gliding snow requires caution. Large quantities of fresh snow and the wind-drifted snow of the last few days remain prone to triggering. The large quantity of fresh snow and the sometimes large wind slabs remain prone to triggering. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches easily. In some places these can penetrate even deep layers and reach large size. Such avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore barely recognisable. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. A substantial danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m. In addition at low and intermediate altitudes, wet loose snow slides are possible. 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. Up to 60 cm of snow has fallen since Saturday above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow and a strong westerly wind, extensive wind slabs formed. The wind slabs are lying on soft layers in all aspects at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. They are covered with new snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack in particular above approximately 2200 m. The rain gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. The avalanche danger will persist. steady 2023-12-12 DP6 DP2 2023-12-11T16:00:00Z 2023-12-11T23:00:00Z 2023-12-12T23:00:00Z Kauner Ridge Weißkugel Range Gurgler Range Central Stubai Alps Northern Zillertal Alps Samnaun Mountains Venediger Range Mieming Mountains Western Tuxer Alps Glockner Range Eastern Tuxer Alps Glockturm Range Kalkkögel Grieskogel Mountains Serles Ridge Kühtai - Geigen Ridge Sellrain - Alpein Mountains Western Karwendel Mountains Upper Ahr Valley Ratschings Durreck Range Langtaufers Southern Zillertal Alps Southern Stubai Alps Pfitsch Southern Sesvenna Group Schnals Ridge Northern Sesvenna Group Planeil Mountains Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge Upper Passeier Valley Texel Mountains moderate 2200 all_day considerable 2200 all_day wind_slab 2200 SE E N S SW W NW NE all_day poor many 2 gliding_snow 2400 SE E N S SW W NW NE all_day very_poor some 2 persistent_weak_layers 2200 SE E N S SW W NW NE all_day fair few 3 Wind slabs represent the main danger. Gliding snow requires caution. The sometimes large wind slabs are prone to triggering in all aspects. Caution is to be exercised in particular above approximately 2200 m, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches can be released easily and reach medium size. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. There is a danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides. This applies on steep slopes below approximately 2400 m. 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. In some localities up to 10 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2000 m. The wind will be moderate to strong. As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from westerly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs formed. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in all aspects at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack in particular above approximately 2200 m.

The rather small wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering in particular on northwest to north to southeast facing aspects.

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering above approximately 2400 m.

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.
