Avalanche report for Sunday 12 January 2025.

Wind slabs require caution.

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 northerly directions, 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. Small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

As a consequence of the occasionally strong northerly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind, dp.2: gliding snow.

The tendency for Monday 13 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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