Avalanche report for Tuesday 22 April 2025.

Wet snow represents the main danger.

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

all day, below 2800 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

As a consequence of warming during the day there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet avalanches. Wherever the night is overcast the danger will increase earlier. Wet avalanches can as before 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 below approximately 2800 m. Avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size. Some rain will fall in the afternoon in some regions. As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of avalanches being released will increase.

And now the snowpack:

The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing softening of the snowpack. Up to high altitudes rain will fall in the afternoon in some regions. On steep sunny slopes as well as at low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is now lying.

The tendency for Wednesday 23 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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