Avalanche Problem
New snow and gliding snow are to be critically assessed. Exposed parts of transportation routes can be endangered.
On steep grassy slopes gliding avalanches are possible at any time, even very large ones in isolated cases. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2600 m.
The new snow and wind slabs are prone to triggering in all aspects above the tree line. From origins in starting zones at higher altitudes individual natural dry avalanches are possible, even very large ones in isolated cases. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
The current avalanche situation calls for very extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and great restraint.
Snowpack
dp.2: gliding snow
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
25 to 50 cm of snow will fall on Tuesday. From the Sexten Dolomites to the Lienzer Dolomites up to 80 cm of snow will fall. Over a wide area strong southeasterly wind. In many cases new snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers. This applies at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will decrease gradually. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.

Snowpack

15 to 30 cm of snow, and up to 50 cm in some localities, will fall on Tuesday. Over a wide area strong southeasterly wind. In many cases new snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers. This applies at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will decrease gradually. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.

Wind slabs and gliding snow require caution.
On steep grassy slopes gliding avalanches are to be expected, in particular medium-sized ones. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2600 m.
In addition the fresh and older wind slabs above the tree line are easily triggered. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. The current avalanche situation calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche danger is a little higher.
Snowpack
dp.2: gliding snow
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Up to 10 cm of snow will fall on Tuesday. In the Gurgler Range up to 40 cm of snow will fall. Over a wide area strong southeasterly wind. The sometimes storm force wind has transported a lot of snow. New snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers. This applies at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.
Tendency
Further decrease in avalanche danger. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. This applies in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line.
As a consequence of new snow and a strong southerly wind, extensive wind slabs formed especially above the tree line. These are to be assessed critically, especially on steep shady slopes. Such avalanche prone locations are but are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.
On steep grassy slopes more small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2600 m. The wind slabs represent the main danger.
Snowpack
dp.8: surface hoar blanketed with snow
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Friday.
The sometimes storm force wind has transported a lot of snow. The old snowpack is weak in some cases and its surface consists of surface hoar, in particular on shady slopes above the tree line.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.

Avalanche Problem
Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
The fresh and older wind slabs represent the main danger. They can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects at high altitude. They are mostly small. Such avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
The strong wind has transported a lot of snow. The old snowpack is weak in some cases, especially on steep shady slopes at high altitude. At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
