Avalanche report for Friday 28 March 2025.

The danger of wet and gliding avalanches will increase during the day.

earlier in the day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one. later in the day it applies above 2800 meter low avalanche danger, so danger level one, below moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

earlier in the day, below 2600 meter, we have a gliding snow problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, later in the day, below 2800 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, later in the day, below 2600 meter, we have a gliding snow problem. This in all aspects.

Small and medium-sized wet and gliding avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. This applies in particular on steep north and east facing slopes below approximately 2200 m, and elsewhere below approximately 2600 m. In addition the mostly small wind slabs adjacent to ridgelines on north facing slopes are capable of being triggered in very isolated cases still, in particular in high Alpine regions. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. The somewhat older wind slabs 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 snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Below the tree line only a little snow is now lying.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.10: springtime scenario, dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind.

The tendency for Saturday 29 March 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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