The fresh and older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on very steep west and north facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, especially at transitions into gullies and bowls. The mostly small wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep west and north facing slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, especially in gullies and bowls. <br/> Faceted weak layers exist deep in the old snowpack especially on shady slopes. <br/> Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Wind slabs require caution. The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. 2025-01-18T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-18T16:00:00Z 2025-01-19T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP6 steady 2025-01-19T16:00:00Z 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z Low avalanche danger will prevail. A little snow is lying. The old wind slabs are mostly small and can only be released in isolated cases. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes, in particular in gullies and bowls. Such avalanche prone locations are rare and are easy to recognise. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. The wind slabs are now only very rarely prone to triggering. <br/> A little snow is lying. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. In all altitude zones from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. Low avalanche danger will prevail.
