Avalanche report for Friday 18 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. Furthermore, all day, we have a gliding snow problem. This in all aspects.

Wet avalanches can in some cases be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes at high altitude. Avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size in isolated cases. Individual gliding avalanches can also occur. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep grassy slopes. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.

And now the snowpack:

The snowpack will be wet all the way through. This applies on shady slopes below approximately 2400 m, as well as on sunny slopes in all altitude zones. On steep sunny slopes as well as at low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is now lying.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.10: springtime scenario, dp.2: gliding snow.

The tendency for Saturday 19 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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