The more recent wind slabs can 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. The prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. <br/> <br/> On extremely steep sunny slopes loose snow avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, in the event of solar radiation especially. The fresh 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. <br/> 10 to 20 cm of snow has fallen. Less snow than usual is lying. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z 2025-01-21T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP6 steady 2025-01-21T16:00:00Z 2025-01-22T16:00:00Z 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. The 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 little snow is now lying. 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. Low avalanche danger will prevail. The avalanche prone locations are rare. 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z 2025-01-21T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP6 steady 2025-01-21T16:00:00Z 2025-01-22T16:00:00Z A mostly favourable avalanche situation will prevail. 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. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. <br/> <br/> Shady slopes: As a consequence of a sometimes strong southerly wind, small wind slabs formed adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. The snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially in places that are protected from the wind. <br/> On steep sunny slopes below the tree line hardly any snow is lying. High altitudes and the high Alpine regions: 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. 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-20T16:00:00Z 2025-01-21T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 DP6 DP7 drifting snow steady 2025-01-21T16:00:00Z 2025-01-22T16:00:00Z Wind slabs require caution. The somewhat older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on extremely 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. <br/> Shady slopes: The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering. The snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially in places that are protected from the wind. 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. On sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. Low avalanche danger will prevail.
