Avalanche report for Monday 6 January 2025.

From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. The avalanche prone locations are rare.

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

Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released, in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are only small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow will fall in some localities. Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. Hard wind slabs are lying on soft layers at elevated altitudes. Steep sunny slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from westerly directions, small wind slabs formed in the last few days in isolated cases. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

The tendency for Tuesday 7 January 2025 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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