Update of the avalanche report for Thursday 19 December 2024.

The old snowpack will be weakly bonded in particular on very steep slopes. The various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. The cold fresh snow of recent weeks and in particular the sometimes deep wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in particular on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2600 m.

all day it applies above 2600 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2600 meter, we have a new snow problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to South-East.

The snowpack remains weakly bonded in the north. Small to medium-sized avalanches are possible in particular on steep north, northeast and northwest facing slopes.

And now the snowpack:

Weak layers near the ground can still be released by individual winter sport participants especially on wind-loaded slopes.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.1: deep persistent weak layer, dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind.

The tendency for Friday 20 December 2024 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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