The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are critical. In particular on west, north and east facing slopes more frequent medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large natural avalanches are possible during the first half of the night. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation this applies especially. Avalanches can in many places be released in the old snowpack. <br/> <br/> The danger exists in particular in alpine snow sports terrain. Natural avalanches and whumpfing sounds are a clear indication of a weakly bonded snowpack. Remotely triggered avalanches are probable. The avalanche prone locations are prevalent and are barely recognisable. 10 to 25 cm of snow has fallen since Tuesday. 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The new snow will be deposited on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. The avalanche conditions remain precarious. steady 2026-02-05T16:00:00Z 2026-02-06T16:00:00Z 2026-02-05 DP1 DP8 2026-02-05T07:00:00Z 2026-02-04T16:00:00Z 2026-02-05T16:00:00Z true Ratschings Stubai Alps South Upper Passeier Valley Texel Mountains Gröden Dolomites Lüsner Mountains Upper Ahr Valley Zillertal Alps South Pfitsch Sesvenna Group South Schnals Ridge Sesvenna Group North Saldurn-Mastaun Ridge Hirzer Range Pfunderer Mountains West Mount Saint Jakob Range Pfunderer Mountains East Durreck Range Langtaufers Rieserferner Mountains Deferegger Alps West Ortler Range Ulten Valley Planeil Mountains Prags Dolomites low treeline all_day considerable treeline all_day persistent_weak_layers treeline NE NW E N W all_day very_poor many 2 slab wind_slab treeline NE NW E N W all_day very_poor some 2 slab A treacherous avalanche situation will prevail. Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. Distinct weak layers in the lower part of the snowpack can be released easily by individual winter sport participants. In addition the fresh wind slabs are very easily triggered. Avalanches can release the weakly bonded old snow as well and reach medium size. <br/> Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. <br/> <br/> Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and natural avalanches serve as an alarm indicating the danger. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. <br/> Caution and restraint are recommended. Up to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. <br/> The new snow and wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack.

The fresh wind slabs can be released easily in some cases. This applies especially on steep shady slopes, as well as adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above the tree line. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. <br/> <br/> Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack at elevated altitudes.
