Avalanches can in some cases be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m and on very steep sunny slopes above approximately 2400 m. They are and are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Isolated whumpfing sounds can indicate the danger. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for caution and restraint. In addition the more recent wind slabs of the last few days in particular adjacent to ridgelines are capable of being triggered in isolated cases still. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible on steep grassy slopes, in particular in the regions with a lot of snow. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack, especially on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, as well as on sunny slopes above approximately 2400 m. The more recent wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The weather will be mild. The weather conditions will foster a gradual stabilisation of the snowpack. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. The weather conditions will bring about a gradual decrease in the avalanche danger. steady 2024-12-28T16:00:00Z 2024-12-29T16:00:00Z 2024-12-28 DP1 DP2 2024-12-27T16:00:00Z 2024-12-27T16:00:00Z 2024-12-28T16:00:00Z false Brandenberg Alps Wilder Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps Eastern Kitzbühel Alps Eastern Karwendel Mountains Central Kitzbühel Alps moderate all_day gliding_snow W E S SW SE all_day very_poor few 2 glide Gliding avalanches are possible.

Wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack. This applies especially in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Avalanches can reach medium size. Small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible on steep grassy slopes. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. The more recent wind slabs of the last few days are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. In some cases the wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with each other and the old snowpack. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack above approximately 2200 m. The weather will be mild. The weather conditions will foster a substantial stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack on sunny slopes. The avalanche danger will decrease gradually.

At elevated altitudes the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent. Avalanches can penetrate deep layers and reach medium size in isolated cases. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded poorly with each other and the old snowpack. They are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on northwest to north to southeast facing aspects.
