Avalanche report for Monday 7 April 2025.

As a consequence of a strong wind, wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines on south, east and west facing slopes. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

all day it applies above 2600 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2600 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West. Furthermore, 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 still be released in some places. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. In particular, however, the wind slabs of the last few days adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls are capable of being triggered in some locations. (--), caution is to be exercised on wind-loaded slopes in particular above approximately 2600 m, and on steep southeast, south and southwest facing slopes. Avalanches can release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. This applies on steep shady slopes in particular above approximately 2400 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 a consequence of the sometimes strong wind the wind slabs have increased in size. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Below the tree line a little snow is lying.

The tendency for Tuesday 8 April 2025 indicates a decreasing avalanche danger.

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