Avalanche report for Monday 3 February 2025.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released by individual winter sport participants in all aspects. Whumpfing sounds and shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. The avalanche prone locations are covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise.

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 persistent weak layer problem. This in all aspects.

As a consequence of new snow and wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain as well as above the tree line. Weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes. On steep slopes slab avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

Little snow has fallen in some regions. 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 meteorological conditions will foster a gradual strengthening of the snowpack. Gradual decrease in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

The tendency for Tuesday 4 February 2025 indicates a decreasing avalanche danger.

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