Avalanche report for Wednesday 19 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. The weather conditions will give rise to increasing consolidation of the snowpack.

And now the snowpack:

The more recent wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack. Precarious weak layers exist in the centre of the old snowpack in particular on little used shady slopes. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing softening of the snowpack on sunny slopes. Increase in danger of moist snow slides in particular in steep rocky terrain. Below the tree line a little snow is lying. The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes.

The tendency for Thursday 20 March 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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