Update of the avalanche report for Sunday 30 March 2025.
New snow and wind slabs are to be assessed with care and prudence.
all day it applies above 2200 meter considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.
all day, above 2200 meter, we have a new snow problem. This in all aspects.
As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force wind from northerly directions, wind slabs formed since Saturday. These are covered with new snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise. These can be released by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more frequent loose snow avalanches are to be expected. This applies in particular on rocky sunny slopes.
And now the snowpack:
20 to 40 cm of snow has fallen since Saturday. The fresh snow and the wind slabs formed during the snowfall are lying on soft layers in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. West, south and east facing slopes below approximately 2400 m: The new snow is lying on a crust.
We have the following danger patterns: dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind.The tendency for Monday 31 March 2025 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.
Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
