Gliding snow requires caution. As a consequence of snowfall and the moderate westerly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. These are to be assessed critically. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches easily. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. A substantial danger of gliding avalanches exists. With the end of the intense precipitation, the natural activity of wet and gliding avalanches has already appreciably increased. This applies on steep grassy 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. As a consequence of mild temperatures the snow drift accumulations stabilised during the last few days. Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1500 m. As a consequence of a moderate wind from westerly directions, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form. These 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 rain gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. Some snow will fall over a wide area. The avalanche danger will persist. steady 2023-12-13 DP6 DP2 2023-12-13T06:30:54Z 2023-12-12T23:00:00Z 2023-12-13T23:00:00Z Grieskogel Mountains Western Karwendel Mountains Mieming Mountains moderate 2400 all_day considerable 2400 all_day wind_slab 2400 SE E N S SW W NW NE all_day poor some 3 gliding_snow 2400 SE E N S SW W NW NE all_day very_poor few 2 persistent_weak_layers 2200 SE E N S SW W NW NE all_day fair few 3 Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

Gliding snow requires caution. The fresh 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. Over a wide area 10 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1500 m. The wind will be moderate over a wide area. As a consequence of new snow and wind from variable directions, further wind slabs will form. More recent 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. Some snow will fall in particular in the north. The avalanche danger will persist. steady 2023-12-13 DP6 DP2 2023-12-13T06:30:54Z 2023-12-12T23:00:00Z 2023-12-13T23:00:00Z Brandenberg Alps Wilder Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps Eastern Kitzbühel Alps Eastern Karwendel Mountains Central Kitzbühel Alps Western Kitzbühel Alps moderate all_day gliding_snow SE E N S SW W NW NE all_day very_poor some 2 Gliding snow represents the main danger. Fresh wind slabs require caution. More medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep grassy slopes. In addition at low and intermediate altitudes, individual wet loose snow avalanches are possible. The fresh wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering on steep shady slopes. 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. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude. The rain gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate wind from westerly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form. These are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

The fresh and older wind slabs are prone to triggering above approximately 2200 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized and can be released even by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 3 (considerable) the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. 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 2400 m. Avalanches can reach large size in isolated cases. On steep slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible below approximately 2000 m. Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. As a consequence of new snow and a light to moderate wind from variable directions, wind slabs will form in all aspects. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack in particular above approximately 2400 m. The avalanche danger will persist. The weather conditions will foster a gradual settling of the snow drift accumulations. steady 2023-12-13 DP6 DP7 2023-12-13T06:30:54Z 2023-12-12T23:00:00Z 2023-12-13T23:00:00Z Eastern Deferegger Alps Lienzer Dolomites Prags Dolomites Gröden Dolomites Lüsner Mountains Sexten Dolomites Western Deferegger Alps low 2200 all_day moderate 2200 all_day wind_slab 2200 SE E N W NW NE all_day poor some 2 Fresh wind slabs require caution.
