Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. Avalanches can as before be released easily. Avalanches can be triggered in the old snowpack. Mostly they are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. <br/> <br/> As a consequence of the occasionally strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. These are in some cases prone to triggering on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. Some snow will fall in particular in the north. Strong northwesterly wind: The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on surface hoar in some places above approximately 2200 m. This applies in particular on northwest, north and east facing slopes. <br/> <br/> Above the tree line: The snowpack will be prone to triggering. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. <br/> <br/> Below the tree line as well as steep sunny slopes: The snowpack is moist and its surface has a crust that is barely capable of bearing a load. Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. A sometimes treacherous avalanche situation will persist. 2026-02-13T07:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2026-02-12T16:00:00Z 2026-02-13T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 old snow steady 2026-02-13T16:00:00Z 2026-02-14T16:00:00Z Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. Avalanches can be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies especially on steep shady slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above the tree line. As a consequence of the occasionally strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. These are in some cases prone to triggering. In some cases avalanches are medium-sized. <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. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack at elevated altitudes. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack. <br/> <br/> Low and intermediate altitudes: The snowpack is moist and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is barely capable of bearing a load. Moderate avalanche danger will prevail.
