Avalanche report for Saturday 26 April 2025.

Wind slabs at high altitude. Wet snow requires caution.

all day it applies above 2500 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2500 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East. Furthermore, all day, between 2000 meter and 2500 meter, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases at elevated altitudes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are only small. Loose snow slides are possible. Some snow will fall on Saturday in some regions. Wet avalanches can in very isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. Natural wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2500 m. Mostly wet avalanches are only small.

And now the snowpack:

In some regions 5 to 15 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from northerly directions, small wind slabs will form. These are lying on soft layers at elevated altitudes. A clear night. The old snowpack is wet and its surface has a strong crust. This applies on shady slopes in particular below approximately 2500 m.

The tendency for Sunday 27 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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