Avalanche report for Friday 21 February 2025.

A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail. As the day progresses the likelihood of wet loose snow slides being released will increase a little.

all day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

Wind slabs are small and unlikely to be released now. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on near-ridge shady slopes. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Midday and afternoon: As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet loose snow avalanches being released will increase a little on extremely steep sunny slopes. Individual natural loose snow slides are possible. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

The weather conditions facilitated a strengthening of the near-surface layers. The mostly shallow wind slabs of the last few days have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. They are unlikely to be released now. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to significant softening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes. This applies at low and intermediate altitudes in all aspects. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

The tendency for Saturday 22 February 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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