Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in isolated cases in particular in little used terrain. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on extremely steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. These avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude. <br/> <br/> More recent wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering on extremely steep north and east facing slopes at elevated altitudes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. They are mostly only small but can be released in isolated cases. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. These can be released in isolated cases. <br/> At elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The mostly shallow wind slabs of the last few days have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. <br/> The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to gradual softening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep sunny slopes at intermediate and high altitudes. 2025-02-18T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-02-18T16:00:00Z 2025-02-19T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP1 DP6 old snow steady 2025-02-19T16:00:00Z 2025-02-20T16:00:00Z Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack.

The avalanches can be released by people. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep northwest, north and east facing slopes at high altitude, caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.
