Update of the avalanche forecast for Saturday 29 March 2025.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow are to be avoided.

all day it applies above 2200 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2200 meter, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, above 2200 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

The hard wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases above approximately 2200 m. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches are medium-sized. In isolated cases avalanches can also penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable.

And now the snowpack:

In the last few days the wind was storm force in some cases. The northwesterly wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. Hard wind slabs formed. These are in some cases still prone to triggering. The old snowpack will be weakly bonded, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on south facing slopes at elevated altitudes.

The tendency for Sunday 30 March 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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