As a consequence of warming more medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep grassy slopes. The older wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering on steep shady slopes. Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at high altitude. The wind will be moderate to strong. Fresh wind slabs will form in particular adjacent to ridgelines on north facing slopes. The old snowpack is wet, in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of rising temperatures the snow drift accumulations stabilised. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers on shady slopes.

Wind slabs require caution. A certain danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2400 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. The somewhat older wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. These can especially at their margins be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are easy to recognise. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. 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. Avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. These places are very rare but are difficult to recognise. Avalanches can reach large size in isolated cases. Sunshine and high temperatures gave rise to gradual moistening of the snowpack. Towards its base, the snowpack is moist. This applies at low and intermediate altitudes. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on near-ridge shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. This applies in particular on shady slopes. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. Some snow will fall in some localities. The avalanche danger will persist. steady 2023-12-20 DP2 DP6 2023-12-19T16:00:00Z 2023-12-19T23:00:00Z 2023-12-20T23:00:00Z Eastern Lechtal Alps Ammergau Alps Kauner Ridge Western Verwall Mountains Eastern Verwall Mountains Allgäu Alps Silvretta Samnaun Mountains Mieming Mountains Western Tuxer Alps Eastern Tuxer Alps Western Lechtal Alps Central Lechtal Alps Kalkkögel Grieskogel Mountains Serles Ridge Kühtai - Geigen Ridge Sellrain - Alpein Mountains Western Karwendel Mountains moderate all_day gliding_snow 2400 SE W S SW E all_day very_poor few 2 wind_slab 2400 NW NE N all_day poor few 2 Gliding snow requires caution. Wind slabs require caution. A substantial danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies in particular on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. The somewhat older wind slabs remain prone to triggering. This applies in particular on shady slopes. Caution is to be exercised in particular above approximately 2400 m, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. As a consequence of snowfall and the moderate to strong northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. The high temperatures gave rise to gradual moistening of the snowpack in particular on very steep sunny slopes. Towards its base, the snowpack is moist. This applies at low and intermediate altitudes. The snowpack is largely stable. As a consequence of rising temperatures the snow drift accumulations stabilised.
