Avalanche report for Wednesday 26 February 2025.

Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

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. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

The fresh wind slabs can be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche prone locations are larger. They are easy to recognise. On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in the west and below approximately 2400 m.

And now the snowpack:

Over a wide area 10 to 15 cm of snow will fall. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.

The tendency for Thursday 27 February 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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