Avalanche report for Saturday 11 January 2025.

The fresh and older wind slabs of the last few days represent the main danger.

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 northwesterly wind, further wind slabs will form in the course of the day in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Caution is to be exercised in particular on near-ridge slopes above approximately 2200 m. Hardly any more gliding avalanches are to be expected.

And now the snowpack:

As a consequence of the occasionally strong northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form during the course of the night. Shady slopes: The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers. Steep sunny slopes: The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on a crust.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind.

The tendency for Sunday 12 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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