Avalanche report for Thursday 3 April 2025.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution. The danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase during the day.

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 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.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can 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. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized, caution is to be exercised in particular above approximately 2200 m, in particular on southwest, north and east facing slopes. As a consequence of wind, mostly small wind slabs formed in the last few days especially adjacent to ridgelines. Wind slabs can in some places be released by small loads. Avalanches can in some cases be released in deep layers and reach medium size. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation loose snow avalanches are possible as the day progresses, even medium-sized ones.

And now the snowpack:

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. More recent wind slabs are lying on soft layers. This applies especially on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften earlier than the day before. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at intermediate altitudes. Below the tree line a little snow is lying.

The tendency for Friday 4 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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