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 barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Isolated whumpfing sounds can indicate the danger. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for a certain restraint. <br/> In addition the more recent wind slabs of the last few days adjacent to ridgelines are capable of being triggered in isolated cases still.

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. <br/> 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 2024-12-29T16:00:00Z 2024-12-30T16:00:00Z 2024-12-29 DP1 DP2 2024-12-28T18:39:52Z 2024-12-28T16:00:00Z 2024-12-29T16:00:00Z true 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.

Weak layers in the lower part of the snowpack necessitate caution. The somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In particular northwest, north and east facing slopes are unfavourable. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects. Avalanches can penetrate deep layers and reach medium size in isolated cases. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. They are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight softening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.

The avalanche prone locations are rare. The hard wind slabs can still be released in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are only small. 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. Hard wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The weather conditions will foster a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. <br/> Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight softening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. The hard wind slabs can only be released in isolated cases. steady 2024-12-29T16:00:00Z 2024-12-30T16:00:00Z 2024-12-29
