Update of the avalanche report for Wednesday 29 January 2025.

Dry and moist avalanches 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 persistent weak layer problem. This in all aspects.

Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep slopes at high altitude, also on steep shady slopes in areas close to the tree line. The various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. The avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.

And now the snowpack:

The rain gave rise on Tuesday to thorough wetting of the snowpack below approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of falling temperatures a crust formed on the surface during the night. The rain gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area below approximately 1900 m. Over a wide area new snow is lying on a wet snowpack. The snow sport conditions outside marked and open pistes are to some extent precarious.

The tendency for Thursday 30 January 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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