On Sunday sometimes easily released wind slabs will form at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes of all aspects. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. Caution is to be exercised also in areas close to the tree line, and below the tree line. As a consequence of new snow and strong wind individual natural avalanches are possible as the day progresses. In some cases avalanches are medium-sized. <br/> <br/> Additionally in very isolated cases avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size in isolated cases, in particular on very steep northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. <br/> <br/> Individual small gliding avalanches are possible. <br/> <br/> The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. In some places new snow is lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack, especially on northwest, north and east facing slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. <br/> The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. 2024-12-07T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2024-12-07T16:00:00Z 2024-12-08T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 DP1 drifting snow old snow steady 2024-12-08T16:00:00Z 2024-12-09T16:00:00Z The sometimes new snow-covered wind slabs represent the main danger. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate wind from easterly directions, further wind slabs will form on Sunday in some cases. In the last two days sometimes easily released wind slabs formed at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. These avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. They are to be found in particular on steep northwest, north and southeast facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and exist in all aspects. Avalanches are rather small but can be released even by a single winter sport participant. <br/> <br/> Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size in isolated cases, in particular on very steep northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. <br/> <br/> In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation individual small gliding avalanches are possible. <br/> <br/> Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. Over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow will fall. In some places new snow is lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack, especially on northwest, north and east facing slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. <br/> Friday: The sometimes storm force wind has transported a lot of snow. <br/> In all altitude zones only a little snow is lying. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.
