Update of the avalanche report for Wednesday 12 March 2025.
New snow and wind slabs represent the main danger.
all day it applies above the treeline considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.
all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects.
Furthermore, all day, between the treeline and 2400 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects.
Over a wide area up to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1800 m. The southerly wind will transport the new snow. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.
And now the snowpack:
Over a wide area up to 20 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1800 m. The wind will transport the new snow. The more recent wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack in all aspects at intermediate and high altitudes.
The tendency for Thursday 13 March 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.
Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
