Caution on very steep slopes, particularly in N/E aspects, ordinarily by large additional loading, in isolated cases also less, especially when the terrain is very steep. Mostly small-to-medium sized avalanches. On sunny, steep rocky slopes small loose-snow avalanches can trigger. The snowpack was able to settle over the last couple of days. Weak layers for a slab: the faceted crystals around the latest melt-freeze crust or loose powder snow right beneath the wind-bonded snow, in isolated cases there is also hoar embedded inside. Up to 2000 m, the snow on sunny slopes is already sticky. On Wednesday, visibility is outstanding, and there is sunshine. The brisk W/N winds can disturb, especially at summit and crest levels. At 2000 m: -3 degrees; at 3000 m: -8 degrees. On Thursday, generally good visibility, high-altitude cloudbanks might cause diffuse light. The summits will be free. Strong W/N winds will irritate. At 2000 m: 0 degrees; at 3000 m: -6 degrees. Danger levels further diminishing. 2022-01-25T17:00:00+00:00 avalanche-warnings.eu 2022-01-25T23:00:00+00:00 2022-01-26T23:00:00+00:00 2 1 drifting snow thin, small snowdrift patches Heed snowdrift accumulations Fresh and older snowdrifts, mostly thin and small, can trigger by large additional loading The terrain is starkly windblown. Hardened crusts lie adjacent to easily recognized snowdrift accumulations in wind-protected zones (forest rims, bowls). The snowdrifts often lie deposited atop weak layers and melt-freeze crusts. On Wednesday sunny, good visibility, irritating NW winds. At 2000 m: -3 degrees. On Thursday, good visibility, a few cloudbanks will pass through. The NW winds will continue to disturb. At 2000 m: 0 degrees. Little change.
