Avalanche report for Monday 16 December 2024.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

all day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

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

As a consequence of a sometimes strong northerly wind, clearly visible wind slabs formed. These are mostly only small but prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above the tree line.

And now the snowpack:

As a consequence of a strong northerly foehn wind, mostly small wind slabs formed. These are lying on unfavourable layers. In all altitude zones only a little snow is lying. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on shady slopes.

The tendency for Tuesday 17 December 2024 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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