Update of the avalanche report for Monday 31 March 2025.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow represent the main danger.

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 persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above 2200 meter, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects.

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes storm force wind from northerly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs formed since Saturday in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. These can be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on near-ridge shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible in isolated cases. Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can be released by individual winter sport participants. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep, little used shady slopes above approximately 2200 m and on steep, little used west and east facing slopes above approximately 2600 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. In isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow will fall. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. As a consequence of the sometimes storm force wind the wind slabs will increase in size moderately. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on little used west, north and east facing slopes. This applies in particular above approximately 2200 m.

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

The tendency for Tuesday 1 April 2025 indicates a decreasing avalanche danger.

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