Avalanche report for Saturday 1 February 2025.

The conditions are sometimes precarious for snow sport activities outside marked and open pistes. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches easily, including large ones.

all day it applies above the treeline considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, above the treeline, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind, easily released wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. On steep slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain slab avalanches are possible, even large ones.

And now the snowpack:

In some localities 5 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1500 m. The various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. In particular above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

The tendency for Sunday 2 February 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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