Update of the avalanche report for Monday 14 April 2025.
Wet snow represents the main danger. As the penetration by moisture increases wet avalanches are possible at any time.
all day it applies above 2600 meter low avalanche danger, so danger level one, below considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three.
all day, below 2600 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects.
The danger of wet avalanches will persist. In particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes more frequent natural wet avalanches are possible as the penetration by moisture increases. Avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size.
And now the snowpack:
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will already be soft in the early morning. The high temperatures will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack below approximately 2600 m. These weather conditions will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack.
We have the following danger patterns: dp.10: springtime scenario, dp.3: rain.The tendency for Tuesday 15 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.
Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
