Avalanche report for Wednesday 22 January 2025.
Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. In addition the wind slabs also in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain are capable of being triggered still.
all day it applies above the treeline moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.
all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects.
As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. On steep shady slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain slab avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones.
And now the snowpack:
The snowpack will become in most cases subject to considerable local variations. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with the old snowpack.
We have the following danger patterns: dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind, dp.1: deep persistent weak layer.The tendency for Thursday 23 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.
Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
