Tuxer Alps West

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

Some snow has fallen. The wind was light to moderate. Above approximately 2000 m: Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. The mostly small wind slabs of Sunday are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes. Below approximately 2000 m and steep sunny slopes: The old snowpack will be moist.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Some snow will fall. As a consequence of a freshening westerly wind, small wind slabs will form at elevated altitudes. On very steep sunny slopes small loose snow avalanches are possible, in the event of prolonged bright spells in particular.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

Winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases. Avalanches can be released in near-ground layers and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Such avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. In addition the small wind slabs of Sunday adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls are capable of being triggered in isolated cases, in particular on very steep shady slopes.
