Avalanche report for Tuesday 25 March 2025.

Increase in danger of wet and gliding avalanches as the penetration by moisture increases. Fresh wind slabs at elevated altitudes.

earlier in the day it applies above 2200 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one. later in the day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

earlier in the day, below 2200 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West. Furthermore, earlier in the day, above 2600 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East. Furthermore, later in the day, below 2600 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West. Furthermore, later in the day, above 2600 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

Small and medium-sized wet and gliding avalanches are possible as the penetration by moisture increases. This applies in particular on steep north and east facing slopes below approximately 2200 m, and elsewhere below approximately 2600 m. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet loose snow avalanches being released will increase. On very steep slopes small and medium-sized wet and gliding avalanches are possible. In addition the mostly small wind slabs of the last few days adjacent to ridgelines on north facing slopes are capable of being triggered in isolated cases still, in particular at elevated altitudes. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing softening of the snowpack. Below the tree line only a little snow is now lying. As a consequence of a sometimes strong southerly foehn wind, small wind slabs formed in the last few days. These are lying on soft layers in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Faceted weak layers exist deeper in the old snowpack on little used shady slopes.

The tendency for Wednesday 26 March 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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