Avalanche report for Monday 20 January 2025.

The backcountry and freeriding conditions are mostly favourable. Wind slabs require caution.

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

As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from southerly directions, small wind slabs formed adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

Wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. The old snowpack will be quite well bonded. Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. Steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface.

The tendency for Tuesday 21 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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