As a consequence of new snow and wind, easily released wind slabs formed in the last few days above the tree line. This also applies in areas close to the tree line, in the regions exposed to a lot of wind especially. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. In high Alpine regions these avalanche prone locations are present in all aspects. <br/> <br/> As a consequence of solar radiation only isolated dry loose snow avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes. <br/> <br/> In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists, in particular on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. In isolated cases the gliding avalanches are quite large. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers. <br/> <br/> The new snow is lying on surface hoar in some places in areas close to the tree line. The new snow of last week is lying on a crust in all aspects below approximately 2600 m. The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area. The fresh and older wind slabs remain in some cases prone to triggering. 2024-01-10T08:12:19Z Avalanche.report 2024-01-09T23:00:00Z 2024-01-10T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 DP6 drifting snow steady 2024-01-10T23:00:00Z 2024-01-11T23:00:00Z Wind slabs require caution. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases, especially at their margins. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are small. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers. The old snowpack will be quite stable. Wind slabs require caution.
