Avalanche report for Monday 3 March 2025.

Weak layers deep in the old snowpack necessitate caution. In addition the wind slabs should be taken into account.

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 East.

Avalanches can be triggered in deep layers and reach medium size. Wind slabs can especially at their margins occasionally be released. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist loose snow avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small.

And now the snowpack:

The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. In the last few days above approximately 1800 m several mostly small avalanches occurred naturally.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.1: deep persistent weak layer.

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

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