Update of the avalanche forecast for Friday 20 December 2024.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.

all day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 1900 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in deeper layers, in particular by large additional loads. This applies especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1900 m. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. They are rare but are barely recognisable. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow will fall in some regions. The gusty wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. Hard wind slabs formed. These are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 1900 m.

The tendency for Saturday 21 December 2024 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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