Avalanche report for Monday 3 February 2025.

Backcountry tourers or freeriders can release avalanches only in isolated cases.

all day it applies above 2000 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2000 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to North-East. Furthermore, all day, above 2200 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released by individual winter sport participants in particular in little used terrain. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche situation is more favourable in highly frequented off-piste terrain. In addition still more very occasional medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack in particular on west, north and northeast facing slopes. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. The old snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. This applies in particular on south facing slopes. Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual stabilisation of the snowpack.

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

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