Avalanche report for Thursday 2 January 2025.

Gliding avalanches are possible in isolated cases.

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

all day, we have a gliding snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.

On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. As a consequence of a moderate to strong southwesterly wind, wind slabs will form in the afternoon in isolated cases.

And now the snowpack:

In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack above approximately 2200 m, especially at elevated altitudes on shady slopes. Shady slopes: The upper section of the snowpack is faceted and its surface consists of surface hoar. Steep sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth.

The tendency for Friday 3 January 2025 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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