Avalanche report for Friday 14 February 2025.

The sometimes strong wind will transport the new snow and, in some cases, old snow as well. Weak layers deep in the old snowpack necessitate 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 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.

The small quantity of fresh snow and in particular local wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes and at high altitude. 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.

And now the snowpack:

The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on wind-protected shady slopes at elevated altitudes. At elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack especially on west, north and east facing slopes. These can be released in isolated cases. Some snow will fall on Friday over a wide area. Until Saturday the wind will be strong.

The tendency for Saturday 15 February 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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