Avalanche report for Thursday 12 December 2024.

Wind slabs require caution.

all day it applies above 2400 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2400 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs of the last few days are in some cases prone to triggering in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Avalanches are rather small but can be released even by a single winter sport participant. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers above approximately 2400 m. In all altitude zones only a little snow is lying. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

The tendency for Friday 13 December 2024 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
