Avalanche report for Sunday 9 March 2025.

Slight increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches in the course of the day.

all day it applies above the treeline moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, between the treeline and 3000 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects South-East to South to South-West. Furthermore, all day, above 2400 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation wet loose snow avalanches are possible, but they can reach medium size in isolated cases, especially on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in very isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases.

And now the snowpack:

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. Especially on steep sunny slopes, a partially stable melt-freeze crust formed. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to a loss of strength within the snowpack in some cases on very steep sunny slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers especially on shady slopes in high Alpine regions.

The tendency for Monday 10 March 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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