Avalanche report for Saturday 25 January 2025.

A mostly favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

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

all day, above 2400 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to East.

The fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases on very steep north and east facing slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls at elevated altitudes. These places 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:

As a consequence of a strong wind from southwesterly directions, further wind slabs will form in particular adjacent to ridgelines on north and east facing slopes. The fresh wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering at elevated altitudes. They are mostly small. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. On sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to slight moistening of the snowpack also at high altitude.

The tendency for Sunday 26 January 2025 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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