Update of the avalanche report for Tuesday 1 April 2025.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

all day it applies above 2200 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

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

As a consequence of new snow and a storm force wind from northerly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last few days especially adjacent to ridgelines. The fresh wind slabs can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep slopes above approximately 2200 m. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases by individual winter sport participants. These 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.

And now the snowpack:

In some regions up to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. The wind was strong to storm force in some regions. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on little used west, north and east facing slopes. This applies on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, as well as on west and east facing slopes above approximately 2600 m.

The tendency for Wednesday 2 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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