Avalanche report for Sunday 5 January 2025.

Fresh wind slabs require caution. Gliding avalanches are possible in isolated cases.

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

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind from westerly directions, small wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes in areas close to the tree line and above the tree line. The fresh wind slabs can be released easily. On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow will fall during the night. The wind will be moderate to strong. Shady slopes: The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals and has a loosely bonded surface. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Steep sunny slopes: The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases.

The tendency for Monday 6 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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