The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. These can be released by a single winter sport participant above the tree line. This also applies in areas close to the tree line. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. They are to be avoided as far as possible. The avalanche prone locations are quite prevalent. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls in all aspects, but in isolated cases also adjacent to ridgelines. Avalanches are medium-sized. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. <br/> <br/> In addition further individual gliding avalanches are possible, in particular on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. In isolated cases the gliding avalanches are quite large, in particular in the regions with a lot of snow. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. 5 to 15 cm of snow will fall. As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from westerly directions, further wind slabs will form in the course of the day in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. <br/> <br/> Towards its base, the snowpack is largely stable. Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The high temperatures will give rise to slight moistening of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. The fresh wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. Slight decrease in danger of dry avalanches. decreasing 2024-01-18T23:00:00Z 2024-01-19T23:00:00Z 2024-01-18 DP6 2024-01-17T16:00:00Z 2024-01-17T23:00:00Z 2024-01-18T23:00:00Z false Kauner Ridge Weißkugel Range Central Kitzbühel Alps Western Kitzbühel Alps Gurgler Range Central Stubai Alps Silvretta Northern Zillertal Alps Samnaun Mountains Venediger Range Lasörling Range Western Tuxer Alps Glockner Range Eastern Tuxer Alps Eastern Deferegger Alps Schober Mountains Eastern Kitzbühel Alps Lienzer Dolomites Glockturm Range Kalkkögel Grieskogel Mountains Serles Ridge Kühtai - Geigen Ridge Sellrain - Alpein Mountains Gröden Dolomites Lüsner Mountains Sexten Dolomites Upper Ahr Valley Southern Zillertal Alps Pfitsch Southern Sesvenna Group Schnals Ridge Northern Sesvenna Group Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge Hirzer Range Western Pfunderer Mountains Mount Saint Jakob Range Eastern Pfunderer Mountains Ratschings Durreck Range Langtaufers Southern Stubai Alps Rieserferner Mountains Western Deferegger Alps Ortler Range Ulten Valley Planeil Mountains Northern Dolomites of Fiemme Prags Dolomites Upper Passeier Valley Texel Mountains low treeline all_day moderate treeline all_day wind_slab treeline E SE NE N W NW S SW all_day poor some 2 Fresh wind slabs are mostly easy to recognise and prone to triggering.

The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. They are to be avoided as far as possible. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Even a small avalanche can sweep winter sport participants along and give rise to falls. <br/> <br/> In addition further very occasional gliding avalanches are possible, in particular on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. In isolated cases the gliding avalanches are quite large, in particular in the regions with a lot of snow. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Over a wide area up to 5 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1200 m. In the north up to 10 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1200 m. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from westerly directions, further wind slabs will form from late morning. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. <br/> <br/> Towards its base, the snowpack is largely stable. Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Some snow will fall in some localities. The fresh wind slabs remain prone to triggering. steady 2024-01-18T23:00:00Z 2024-01-19T23:00:00Z 2024-01-18 DP6
