Avalanche report for Tuesday 18 March 2025.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

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

all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects.

The more recent wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep shady slopes adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 1800 m. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized and can be released in some cases by a single winter sport participant.

And now the snowpack:

In particular in the south up to 10 cm of snow will fall. The more recent wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the centre of the old snowpack especially on little used shady slopes. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

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

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