Avalanche report for Tuesday 8 April 2025.

As a consequence of a strong wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects.

all day it applies above 2500 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2500 meter, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects. 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 by winter sport participants. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 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 2500 m, and adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects. Avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate down to the ground and reach medium size. This applies on very steep shady slopes in particular at high altitude.

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 2500 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 Wednesday 9 April 2025 indicates a decreasing avalanche danger.

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