Avalanche report for Sunday 9 March 2025.

Fresh wind slabs in the high Alpine regions. Slight increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches in the course of the day.

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

all day, above 2800 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East. Furthermore, all day, below 2800 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.

As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from southerly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep shady slopes adjacent to ridgelines in high Alpine regions. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual wet loose snow avalanches are possible. This applies on extremely steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m, this applies in case of a single winter sport participant. In addition individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible, especially in the west on very steep sunny slopes and below approximately 2800 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 extremely 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 quite good. 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. The wind will transport only a little snow. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

The tendency for Monday 10 March 2025 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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