Update of the avalanche report for Sunday 29 December 2024.

Only a little snow is lying. Weak layers in the lower part of the snowpack necessitate caution.

all day it applies above 2200 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2200 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to East.

The somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In particular northwest, north and east facing slopes are unfavourable. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects. Avalanches can penetrate deep layers and reach medium size in isolated cases.

And now the snowpack:

In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. They are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight softening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.

The tendency for Monday 30 December 2024 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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