Avalanche report for Thursday 3 April 2025.

Wind slabs require caution.

all day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

all day, above 2400 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, below 2400 meter, we have a gliding snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West.

Wind slabs can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches are medium-sized. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of loose snow avalanches being released will increase, in particular on very steep sunny slopes. They can in some cases release the saturated snowpack. Gliding avalanches can also occur. This applies on grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m.

And now the snowpack:

The fresh and older wind slabs of the last few days are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack over a wide area in particular on sunny slopes.

The tendency for Friday 4 April 2025 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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