Update of the avalanche report for Tuesday 28 January 2025.

Fresh 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. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to East.

Single winter sport participants can release avalanches easily, caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as at the base of rock walls. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. As a consequence of the heavy precipitation individual gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are possible, especially on steep grassy slopes below the tree line.

And now the snowpack:

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of a strong to storm force wind from southwesterly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs will form. This applies in particular at high altitude. New snow is lying on a moist old snowpack. This applies below the tree line.

The tendency for Wednesday 29 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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