The older wind slabs can still be released in some cases especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 2400 m. This applies in particular on steep shady slopes. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases. <br/> As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist loose snow avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep sunny slopes. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on near-ridge shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. <br/> <br/> Low and intermediate altitudes: The snowpack is wet. The meteorological conditions will facilitate a gradual change towards better conditions. 2023-12-26T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2023-12-26T23:00:00Z 2023-12-27T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 steady 2023-12-27T23:00:00Z 2023-12-28T23:00:00Z The avalanche conditions are generally favourable. Old wind slabs require caution. The wind slabs are mostly easy to recognise but can be released in isolated cases. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 2400 m. This applies in particular on steep shady slopes. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist loose snow avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep sunny slopes. Mostly avalanches are small. The snowpack will be quite stable. Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes. In particular at low and intermediate altitudes a little snow is lying. The avalanche danger will persist.
