The avalanche danger in particular at elevated altitudes is within the uppermost range of danger level 3 (considerable). A very large quantity of fresh snow and the sometimes large wind slabs that are being formed by the strong to storm force southerly wind can be released very easily in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. Individual occasionally large natural avalanches are possible, especially in case of releases originating from very steep high-altitude shady starting zones. Avalanches can also be triggered in the old snowpack and reach large size in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular above approximately 2400 m. On steep grassy slopes medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible as a consequence of the new snow, especially on sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for great caution and restraint. Up to 70 cm of snow fell on Friday above approximately 1500 m. Up to 10 cm of snow will fall on Sunday. The southerly wind will transport the new snow significantly. In some cases new snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack, in particular on steep west and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m, as well as on steep north facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. The weather conditions will prevent a rapid stabilisation of the near-surface layers. The danger of gliding avalanches will persist, in particular on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2400 m. steady 2024-02-25T23:00:00Z 2024-02-26T23:00:00Z 2024-02-25 DP6 DP4 2024-02-24T16:00:00Z 2024-02-24T23:00:00Z 2024-02-25T23:00:00Z false Latemar Southern Adamello Primiero - Pale di S.

Loose snow avalanches are to be expected. The large quantity of fresh snow and the sometimes deep wind slabs can be released easily or naturally in all aspects. As a consequence of the moderate to strong southwesterly wind the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent. Medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large natural avalanches are to be expected, especially in case of releases originating from very steep leeward starting zones. The avalanche prone locations are covered with new snow and are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. An increasing number of medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large loose snow avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, in the event of prolonged bright spells especially. Avalanches can also be triggered in the old snowpack and reach quite a large size. On steep grassy slopes medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for great caution and restraint. Over a wide area 25 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Friday above approximately 1400 m. The strong wind has transported some snow. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on a crust in all aspects below approximately 2400 m. The new snow and wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack. Especially shady slopes above approximately 2400 m: Loose snow avalanches are possible, but they can be quite large, in the regions exposed to a lot of new snow especially on very steep slopes. The weather conditions will prevent a rapid stabilisation of the near-surface layers. steady 2024-02-25T23:00:00Z 2024-02-26T23:00:00Z 2024-02-25 DP6 2024-02-24T16:00:00Z 2024-02-24T23:00:00Z 2024-02-25T23:00:00Z false Kauner Ridge Weißkugel Range Western Kitzbühel Alps Western Verwall Mountains Gurgler Range Eastern Verwall Mountains Silvretta Samnaun Mountains Western Tuxer Alps Eastern Tuxer Alps Glockturm Range Kalkkögel Grieskogel Mountains Kühtai - Geigen Ridge Langtaufers Southern Sesvenna Group Ortler Range Schnals Ridge Ulten Valley Northern Sesvenna Group Planeil Mountains Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge moderate 2400 all_day considerable 2400 all_day persistent_weak_layers 2400 NW W E NE N all_day poor some 3 wind_slab treeline NW NE N all_day poor some 2 gliding_snow 2400 SW SE W S E all_day very_poor some 2 Weakly bonded old snow represents the main danger.

Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches, including medium-sized ones, especially on steep shady slopes.

Loose snow avalanches and gliding avalanches are still possible. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places even by individual winter sport participants. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can reach large size in isolated cases. Fresh avalanches and whumpfing sounds serve as an alarm indicating the danger. In addition the wind slabs of the last few days are capable of being triggered in some cases. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above the tree line, caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. These places are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. As the day progresses more small and medium-sized loose snow avalanches are possible, in the event of solar radiation especially. On steep grassy slopes small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible as a consequence of the new snow, especially on sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for careful route selection. 5 to 10 cm of snow will fall on Sunday. The wind will be moderate adjacent to ridgelines. The new snow and wind slabs of Friday are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2400 m. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on near-ridge shady slopes. Somewhat older wind slabs are covered with new snow and therefore barely recognisable.

The wind will be moderate adjacent to ridgelines. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers on near-ridge shady slopes. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. Only a little snow is lying.
