Fresh wind slabs require caution. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow, this applies in case of a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. In many cases avalanches are medium-sized. Isolated whumpfing sounds can indicate the danger. <br/> <br/> As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. This applies in particular at elevated altitudes. The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. <br/> <br/> The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Over a wide area 10 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1500 m. As a consequence of a gusty wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed. The wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places. <br/> <br/> Above approximately 1800 m: The snowpack will be in some cases prone to triggering. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. <br/> <br/> Little snow will fall on Monday. Avalanches can be released by a single winter sport participant. 2026-02-16T07:00:00Z Lawinenwarndienst.ktn.gv 2026-02-15T16:00:00Z 2026-02-16T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 3 1 DP1 DP6 old snow drifting snow steady 2026-02-16T16:00:00Z 2026-02-17T16:00:00Z Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. Avalanches can be released easily. Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow, this applies even in case of a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and fresh avalanches indicate the danger. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. <br/> <br/> As a consequence of new snow and a storm force wind from northerly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. This applies in particular above approximately 2200 m. The fresh wind slabs can be released easily and reach medium size. <br/> <br/> The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. In particular along the border with Salzburg in some regions up to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. Some snow will fall in particular from the Glockner Range Pasterze via the Goldberg Mountains South to the Ankogel-Hochalm Mountains. <br/> <br/> As a consequence of the northwesterly wind the wind slabs will increase in size additionally. The wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places at elevated altitudes. <br/> <br/> Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. The conditions are unfavourable. 2026-02-16T07:00:00Z Lawinenwarndienst.ktn.gv 2026-02-15T16:00:00Z 2026-02-16T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP1 DP6 old snow drifting snow steady 2026-02-16T16:00:00Z 2026-02-17T16:00:00Z Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution.
