Small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible on steep grassy slopes. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. <br/> <br/> Avalanches can additionally in isolated cases be released in the weakly bonded old snow. This applies especially in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack at elevated altitudes, caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep slopes. Avalanches can reach medium size. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack above approximately 2200 m. <br/> The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to slight moistening of the snowpack on sunny slopes. Gliding snow represents the main danger. Some snow will fall. 2024-12-31T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2024-12-31T16:00:00Z 2025-01-01T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 2 DP1 DP2 old snow gliding snow steady 2025-01-01T16:00:00Z 2025-01-02T16:00:00Z Weakly bonded old snow represents the main danger. Avalanches can in isolated 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/> <br/> 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. <br/> 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. Some snow will fall. 2024-12-31T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2024-12-31T16:00:00Z 2025-01-01T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP1 old snow steady 2025-01-01T16:00:00Z 2025-01-02T16:00:00Z Only a little snow is lying. Weak layers near the ground necessitate caution. Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack. These are rather small but can be released even by a single winter sport participant. 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. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. The snowpack will be prone to triggering in some places, in particular on northwest, north and east facing slopes at high altitude, as well as in all aspects in high Alpine regions. <br/> <br/> Steep sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will soften during the day. <br/> <br/> The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. These avalanche prone locations are rather rare but are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. 2024-12-31T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2024-12-31T16:00:00Z 2025-01-01T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP2 gliding snow steady 2025-01-01T16:00:00Z 2025-01-02T16:00:00Z Gliding avalanches are possible in isolated cases. On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to slight moistening of the snowpack on sunny slopes. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack above approximately 2200 m, especially at elevated altitudes on shady slopes. Gliding snow requires caution. 2024-12-31T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2024-12-31T16:00:00Z 2025-01-01T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 steady 2025-01-01T16:00:00Z 2025-01-02T16:00:00Z From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. The avalanche prone locations are rare. The hard wind slabs can be released in isolated 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. <br/> Steep sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will soften during the day. <br/> The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. The avalanche prone locations are rare. The old wind slabs can only be released in isolated cases.
