As a consequence of a strong southerly foehn wind, mostly shallow wind slabs formed. These can still be released in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. <br/> Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. This applies in particular south of the Inn. As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from southerly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed since Saturday, in particular in the regions exposed to the foehn wind. The wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. <br/> <br/> Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. <br/> Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. <br/> Steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface. The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. Further decrease in danger of dry avalanches. 2025-01-19T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-19T16:00:00Z 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 DP7 drifting snow decreasing 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z 2025-01-21T16:00:00Z Wind slabs require caution. The more recent wind slabs can still be released in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, especially at transitions into gullies and bowls. The mostly small wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. <br/> Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The more recent wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers in particular on steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. <br/> Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack. <br/> Steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface. The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. Further decrease in danger of dry avalanches. 2025-01-19T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-19T16:00:00Z 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP6 steady 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z 2025-01-21T16:00:00Z The backcountry and freeriding conditions are mostly favourable. Wind slabs require caution. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from southerly directions, small wind slabs formed adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. <br/> <br/> The old snowpack will be quite well bonded. <br/> Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. <br/> Steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface. The avalanche conditions are generally favourable. 2025-01-19T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-19T16:00:00Z 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP6 steady 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z 2025-01-21T16:00:00Z Low avalanche danger will prevail. The old wind slabs are small and can only be released in isolated cases. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on extremely 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. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. <br/> Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. <br/> Steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface.

The small wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on extremely steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Caution is to be exercised on near-ridge slopes, as well as in gullies and bowls. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Wind slabs are to be avoided in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. <br/> <br/> Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. <br/> Steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface. A favourable avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area.
