Update of the avalanche report for Friday 11 April 2025.

Increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Early morning: A mostly favourable avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area.

earlier in the day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one. later in the day it applies above 3000 meter low avalanche danger, so danger level one, below moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

earlier in the day, above 2500 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, later in the day, below 3000 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects East to South to West. Furthermore, later in the day, above 2500 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase in particular on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. They can penetrate deep layers and reach large size in isolated cases. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases and mostly by large additional loads, in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m and on very steep west and east facing slopes. Avalanches can in some cases reach medium size.

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 Saturday 12 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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