Avalanche report for Saturday 8 February 2025.

Weak layers deep in the old snowpack represent the main danger.

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. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases, with a large load in most cases. Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate deep layers and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line.

And now the snowpack:

Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at elevated altitudes. The somewhat older wind slabs of the last few days are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above the tree line. This also applies in isolated cases on south facing slopes in high Alpine regions. In particular intermediate altitudes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface during the last few days.

The tendency for Sunday 9 February 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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