Fresh wind slabs require caution. The more recent wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The 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. As a consequence of a sometimes strong southerly foehn wind, small wind slabs will form in particular in the regions exposed to the foehn wind. The clearly visible wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. <br/> <br/> Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. On sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. Wind slabs require caution. 2025-01-22T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-22T16:00:00Z 2025-01-23T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP6 steady 2025-01-23T16:00:00Z 2025-01-24T16:00:00Z A mostly favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Fresh wind slabs require caution. The small wind slabs can be released in isolated cases 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 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. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from southerly directions, small wind slabs formed since Wednesday in isolated cases, especially on near-ridge shady slopes. <br/> <br/> 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. On steep sunny slopes below the tree line hardly any snow is lying. <br/> <br/> Some rain will fall in some regions. This applies below approximately 2000 m, in particular in the northwest along the border with Vorarlberg and in the Allgäu Alps. Wind slabs require caution. 2025-01-22T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-22T16:00:00Z 2025-01-23T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 DP6 drifting snow steady 2025-01-23T16:00:00Z 2025-01-24T16:00:00Z Wind slabs require caution. The more recent wind slabs can be released in isolated cases on extremely steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, especially at transitions into gullies and bowls. The 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. 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 wind will be moderate to strong in some regions. <br/> Shady slopes: The small wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering. The snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially in places that are protected from the wind. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist deeper 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. Wind slabs require caution. 2025-01-22T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-22T16:00:00Z 2025-01-23T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 steady 2025-01-23T16:00:00Z 2025-01-24T16:00:00Z Low avalanche danger will prevail. Older wind slabs are small and unlikely to be released now. 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 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.
