Some snow will fall over a wide area. The wind will be moderate to strong. In all regions many medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of the moderate to strong wind. In particular on very steep slopes and below approximately 2400 m individual occasionally large slab avalanches are possible, especially in case of releases originating from leeward starting zones. As a consequence of the snowfall, the likelihood of natural avalanches being released will increase a little. In addition there is a danger of gliding avalanches. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2400 m. Gliding avalanches can be released at any time of day or night. Precautionary closures of exposed transportation routes may be necessary. Closures must be respected and safety instructions of the authorities must be followed. Over a wide area 10 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. Until midday the wind will be moderate to strong over a wide area. Much of the fresh and wind-drifted snow will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes, in particular between approximately 1600 and 2400 m. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the old snowpack especially on steep sunny slopes, especially below approximately 2400 m. Gradual decrease in avalanche danger as the snowfall eases. dangerRatingMap Simplified danger rating map of the region https://avalanche.report/albina_files/2019-02-03/2019-02-03_07-00-00/10030c70-d3c2-4c26-9a4b-23b8d8512429.jpg website Link to region on the website https://avalanche.report/bulletin/2019-02-03?region=10030c70-d3c2-4c26-9a4b-23b8d8512429 2019-02-03T07:00:00Z 2019-02-02T23:00:00Z 2019-02-03T23:00:00Z Avalanche.report https://avalanche.report Weißkugel Range Gurgler Range Central Stubai Alps Northern Zillertal Alps high high 3 4 4 high 3 4 dp6 dp2 new_snow SE N E W S NE NW SW gliding_snow SE N E W S NE NW SW 2400 decreasing 2019-02-03T23:00:00Z 2019-02-04T23:00:00Z High avalanche danger will prevail.

In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation many large and, in isolated cases, very large avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of fresh snow and strong wind, especially in case of releases originating from steep, leeward starting zones below approximately 2400 m. As a consequence of the snowfall, the likelihood of natural avalanches being released will increase for a while. In particular, however, the danger of gliding avalanches will increase as the day progresses. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2400 m. Gliding avalanches can be released at any time of day or night. Precautionary safety measures may be necessary. Closures must be respected and safety instructions of the authorities must be followed. Over a wide area 20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. This applies especially above approximately 1000 m. Until midday the wind will be moderate to strong over a wide area. Much of the fresh and wind-drifted snow will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack. Faceted weak layers exist in the top section of the old snowpack especially on steep sunny slopes. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack in particular in the Central Stubai Alps, in particular between approximately 1800 and 2400 m on very steep shady slopes. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.
