Avalanche report for Thursday 20 March 2025.

The conditions are quite favourable.

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

The mostly small wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering on extremely steep shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines above approximately 2400 m. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. 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 south facing slopes. On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in the northwest.

And now the snowpack:

Shady slopes: The snowpack is largely stable; its surface consists of loosely bonded snow. This applies in particular above approximately 2200 m. The somewhat older wind slabs are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines. These are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Sunny slopes: The snowpack will be in most cases well bonded. As a consequence of low temperatures and low relative humidity a crust will form on the surface during the course of the night. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing softening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes. Below the tree line only a little snow is now lying.

The tendency for Friday 21 March 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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