Avalanche report for Monday 6 January 2025.

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

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 wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to East.

As a consequence of 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 at elevated altitudes. 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:

The wind will be moderate to strong. Shady slopes: The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals and has a loosely bonded surface. Fresh and somewhat older 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 Tuesday 7 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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