Avalanche report for Tuesday 15 April 2025.

Wet snow represents the main danger. Natural avalanches are possible.

all day it applies above 2800 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three.

all day, below 2800 meter, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, we have a gliding snow problem. This in all aspects.

During the night as a consequence of the moist air there will be an additional increase in the danger of wet avalanches. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m and on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m. Especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes wet slab avalanches are possible as the penetration by moisture increases. These can release the saturated snowpack and reach large size especially in the regions with a lot of snow. In some cases, the avalanches can reach areas without any snow cover in steep gullies. In addition individual small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are to be expected. This applies in particular on very steep grassy slopes. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.

And now the snowpack:

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be barely evident. Up to 2600 m and above rain will fall in some regions. The weather conditions will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack below approximately 2800 m. This situation will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack especially on west, north and east facing slopes.

The tendency for Wednesday 16 April 2025 indicates a decreasing avalanche danger.

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