Update of the avalanche report for Monday 14 April 2025.
Wet and gliding snow represent the main danger.
all day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.
all day, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects.
From late morning the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase quickly. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes below approximately 2600 m and on very steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones. As the penetration by moisture increases individual natural wet avalanches are possible as the day progresses, in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes.
And now the snowpack:
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced at times. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth will already soften in the late morning. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack in all aspects.
We have the following danger patterns: dp.10: springtime scenario, dp.2: gliding snow.The tendency for Tuesday 15 April 2025 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.
Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
