Avalanche report for Wednesday 22 January 2025.

A mostly favourable avalanche situation will prevail.

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

The small wind slabs can be released in isolated cases on extremely steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Caution is to be exercised on near-ridge slopes, as well as in gullies and bowls. The avalanche prone locations are rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Wind slabs are to be avoided in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling.

And now the snowpack:

Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Shady slopes: The wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. The snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially in places that are protected from the wind. On steep sunny slopes below the tree line hardly any snow is lying. High altitudes and the high Alpine regions: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface.

The tendency for Thursday 23 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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