Avalanche report for Tuesday 18 March 2025.

Fresh wind slabs are to be avoided. Individual gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible.

all day it applies above 2400 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2400 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to North-East.

Fresh wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on near-ridge north and west facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude. They are easy to recognise. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases. On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible, in particular in the northwest. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist loose snow slides being released will increase a little on extremely steep sunny slopes.

And now the snowpack:

Shady slopes: As a consequence of a moderate wind from easterly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed on Monday adjacent to ridgelines on north and west facing slopes. They are lying on unfavourable layers in particular on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Towards its base, the snowpack is largely stable. Sunny slopes: The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes.

The tendency for Wednesday 19 March 2025 indicates a decreasing avalanche danger.

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