Restraint is advisable on this first sunny day after a long period of poor weather. Winter sport participants can release avalanches very easily, including large ones. This applies in particular on steep slopes above the tree line as well as in areas close to the tree line. Avalanches can be triggered in the old snowpack. Also on very steep slopes avalanches can be released in the various layers of new snow. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. The avalanche prone locations are currently prevalent immediately adjacent to the pistes as well. Natural avalanches and whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. In addition a considerable (level 3) danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m. As a consequence of solar radiation more frequent dry loose snow avalanches are to be expected, even medium-sized ones. This applies on extremely steep slopes. Extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and great restraint are required. Over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and up to 80 cm in some localities, has fallen. Large quantities of fresh snow and the wind-drifted snow are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. This applies above approximately 2000 m. The large quantity of fresh snow and the wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Field observations confirm the existence of a weak snowack. Outside marked and open pistes a critical avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. The meteorological conditions will prevent a rapid change towards better conditions. steady 2023-12-03 DP4 DP2 2023-12-02T16:00:00Z 2023-12-02T23:00:00Z 2023-12-03T23:00:00Z Glockner Range Schober Mountains Venediger Range Lasörling Range Eastern Pfunderer Mountains Ratschings Durreck Range Upper Ahr Valley Rieserferner Mountains Southern Stubai Alps Southern Zillertal Alps Pfitsch Southern Sesvenna Group Ortler Range Ulten Valley Planeil Mountains Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge Hirzer Range Upper Passeier Valley Western Pfunderer Mountains Texel Mountains moderate 2200 all_day high 2200 all_day persistent_weak_layers 2200 SW S E SE N NE W NW all_day very_poor many 3 new_snow 2200 SW S E SE N NE W NW all_day very_poor some 2 gliding_snow 2400 SW E SE S N NE W NW all_day very_poor few 2 The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are critical.
