The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2400 m and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Such avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. 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. The wind slabs are mostly rather small but prone to triggering. They are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep terrain at elevated altitudes. Wind slabs are to be avoided. steady 2026-01-18T16:00:00Z 2026-01-19T16:00:00Z 2026-01-18 DP6 2026-01-17T16:00:00Z 2026-01-17T16:00:00Z 2026-01-18T16:00:00Z false Goldberg Group South Ankogel-Hochalm Group Hafner Group Glockner Group Pasterze Zillertal Alps Northeast Zillertal Alps Northwest Weißkugel Group Kitzbühel Alps Brixental Gurgler Group Stubai Alps Central Venediger Group South Lasörling Group Goldried Glockner Group South Durreck Range Langtaufers Upper Ahr Valley Rieserferner Mountains Zillertal Alps South Sesvenna Group South Schnals Ridge Sesvenna Group North Planeil Mountains low 2200 all_day moderate 2200 all_day wind_slab 2200 NE NW W N E all_day poor some 2 slab Wind slabs can as before be released. The fresh and older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found also on steep south facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. In particular in shady places that are protected from the wind avalanches can release the weakly bonded old snow as well and reach medium size. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. 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. As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from southerly directions, further wind slabs will form. The wind slabs are mostly easy to recognise but prone to triggering. They are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. Steep south facing slopes below approximately 2400 m: Towards its surface, the snowpack is fairly homogeneous and its surface has a melt-freeze crust. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones. Wind slabs are to be evaluated critically. steady 2026-01-18T16:00:00Z 2026-01-19T16:00:00Z 2026-01-18 DP6 DP5 2026-01-17T16:00:00Z 2026-01-17T16:00:00Z 2026-01-18T16:00:00Z false Karawanks East Koralpe West Karawanks Central Packalpe Goldeck Group Gailtal Alps East Karawanks West Carnic Alps Oistnering Gailtal Alps Central Carnic Alps Nassfeld Villach Alps Gurktal Alps South Nockberge Central Saualpe South Gurktal Alps Central Nockberge South Saualpe North low all_day wind_slab 1900 NE NW N all_day poor few 1 slab Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
