Avalanche report for Sunday 6 April 2025.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

all day it applies above 2400 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2400 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

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 very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m and on very steep west and east facing slopes above approximately 2600 m. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. As a consequence of solar radiation moist loose snow slides are to be expected. This applies on extremely steep sunny slopes in the regions exposed to precipitation. As a consequence of a sometimes strong northeasterly wind, clearly visible wind slabs will form. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Individual gliding avalanches can also occur. Caution is to be exercised on grassy slopes below approximately 2600 m.

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 2400 m, as well as on west and east facing slopes above approximately 2600 m. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Some snow will fall in particular in the northeast. As a consequence of falling temperatures the snowpack will consolidate. As a consequence of falling temperatures a crust will form on the surface. The old snowpack will be in most cases moist. This applies on sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2200 m.

The tendency for Monday 7 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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