Avalanche report for Tuesday 1 April 2025.
New snow and weakly bonded old snow represent the main danger.
all day it applies above 2200 meter considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, below moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.
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 2000 meter, we have a new snow problem. This in all aspects.
Furthermore, all day, below 2400 meter, we have a gliding snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.
The large quantity of fresh snow as well as the widespread extensive wind slabs can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant,. These are covered with new snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise. Remotely triggered and natural avalanches are possible in isolated cases. Additionally avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size. This applies in particular on steep, little used shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, as well as on steep, little used west and east facing slopes above approximately 2600 m.
And now the snowpack:
50 to 80 cm of snow, and up to 100 cm in some localities, fell in the last few days, in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The fresh snow and the extensive wind slabs formed during the snowfall are lying on soft layers in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. West, south and east facing slopes below approximately 2400 m: The new snow is lying on a crust.
The tendency for Wednesday 2 April 2025 indicates a decreasing avalanche danger.
Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
