Avalanche report for Thursday 23 January 2025.

Wind slabs require caution.

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 southwesterly 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 individual slab avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

In particular in the west and in the south 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until Thursday. The new snow and wind slabs represent the main danger. The snowpack will become in most cases subject to considerable local variations. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the snowpack.

The tendency for Friday 24 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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