As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from easterly directions, wind slabs formed on Wednesday in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These can in some cases be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular on shady slopes above the tree line in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. In particular along the border with Veneto 5 to 10 cm of snow has fallen. The wind was strong for a temporary period in some regions. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on wind-protected shady slopes. The old snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The conditions will foster a rapid stabilisation of the snowpack. 2025-12-24T16:00:00Z Lawinenwarndienst.ktn.gv 2025-12-24T16:00:00Z 2025-12-25T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 DP6 drifting snow steady 2025-12-25T16:00:00Z 2025-12-26T16:00:00Z Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of the new snow. As a consequence of new snow and a gusty wind, wind slabs formed in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These can in some cases be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above the tree line in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. In some localities the wind slabs will increase in size during the night. In addition individual small loose snow avalanches are possible. In some regions 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. The wind was strong at times in particular from the Koralpe West via the Packalpe to the Saualpe South. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on wind-protected northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. Low avalanche danger will persist. 2025-12-24T16:00:00Z Lawinenwarndienst.ktn.gv 2025-12-24T16:00:00Z 2025-12-25T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 DP1 old snow steady 2025-12-25T16:00:00Z 2025-12-26T16:00:00Z Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. As a consequence of new snow and a gusty wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls at elevated altitudes. <br/> <br/> In isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Mostly avalanches are small. <br/> <br/> 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. 2 to 5 cm of snow has fallen. <br/> <br/> Shady slopes above approximately 2600 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. <br/> <br/> Below approximately 2600 m: The snowpack is largely stable. Hardly any snow is lying on south facing slopes. <br/> <br/> The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Less snow than usual is lying in all altitude zones. Low avalanche danger will prevail.
