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

More recent wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, especially adjacent to ridgelines. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in isolated cases 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.

And now the snowpack:

As a consequence of a storm force wind from northerly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed since Saturday especially adjacent to ridgelines. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers. 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!
