Avalanche report for Thursday 24 April 2025.

Wet snow represents the main danger. Wind slabs in the high Alpine regions.

all day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

all day, below 2600 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above 2600 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

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 2600 m. Avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size. Some rain will fall during the night in some regions. As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of avalanches being released will increase. The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines.

And now the snowpack:

Over a wide area an overcast night. The old snowpack is wet. This applies on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m, as well as on sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. Up to intermediate altitudes rain will fall over a wide area. Above approximately 2400 m snow will fall. High Alpine regions: Wind slabs are lying on soft layers on very steep shady slopes.

The tendency for Friday 25 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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