Rapid increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

A clear night will be followed in the early morning by favourable conditions generally. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase quickly. Mostly they are only small but can be released even 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 3000 m and on very steep south facing slopes above approximately 3000 m. Somewhat older wind slabs are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions and adjacent to ridgelines. Mostly avalanches are only small. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality. This is the final hazard map for the winter 2024/25. Current information and announcements are posted on our blog. We wish all users of the Euregio Avalanche Report an accident-free summer season.

Over a wide area a clear night. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard crust. The old snowpack is wet. This applies on shady slopes at intermediate and high altitudes, as well as on sunny slopes in high Alpine regions. In all altitude zones only a little snow is now lying.

A clear night will be followed in the early morning by favourable conditions generally, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later.
