Avalanche report for Saturday 11 January 2025.

The fresh and older wind slabs represent the main danger.

all day it applies above 2200 meter considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, 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 new snow and a sometimes strong northwesterly wind, further wind slabs will form in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The fresh and older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised on near-ridge slopes. The prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. They are sometimes covered with new snow and are difficult to recognise. Small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

Up to 10 cm of snow will fall. As a consequence of the occasionally strong northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form during the night. These are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular above approximately 2400 m.

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

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