Wind slabs represent the main danger. As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from northwesterly directions, wind slabs will form in the course of the day. These are mostly small. The fresh and older wind slabs can be released easily in many places. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on southwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2200 m and on steep south facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. 5 to 15 cm of snow will fall. The wind will be strong. Fresh and older wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted and its surface has a crust that is barely capable of bearing a load. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones.

The mostly shallow wind slabs are prone to triggering in particular on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 1800 m. Avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Along the border with Slovenia the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. 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. In particular along the border with Slovenia 5 to 15 cm of snow has fallen since Tuesday. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers on shady slopes above approximately 1800 m. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones. Wind slabs require caution. steady 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z 2026-01-09T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08 DP6 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z false Koralpe West Packalpe Goldeck Group Gailtal Alps East Karawanks West Carnic Alps Oistnering Gailtal Alps Central Carnic Alps Nassfeld Villach Alps Gurktal Alps South Saualpe South Gurktal Alps Central Nockberge Central Nockberge South Saualpe North low all_day Wind slabs require caution.

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. Sunny slopes: In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. The wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Shady slopes: The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones. In some regions 5 to 10 cm of snow will fall. steady 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z 2026-01-09T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z 2026-01-07T16:00:00Z 2026-01-08T16:00:00Z false Carnic Alps Lesachtal Gailtal Alps West Kreuzeck Group Sadnig Group Carnic Alps Plöckenpass Schober Group East Reisseck Group Lienz Dolomites Kreuzeck Group East Tirol Carnic Alps East Tirol Deferegger Alps East Schober Group West Goldried Gröden Dolomites Lüsner Mountains Sexten Dolomites Hirzer Range Pfunderer Mountains West Mount Saint Jakob Range Sarntal Alps South Pfunderer Mountains East Deferegger Alps West Nonsberger Alps East Dolomites of Fiemme North Prags Dolomites low all_day Wind slabs - Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
