Dolomites of Fiemme North

Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes. In addition gliding avalanches and snow slides are possible.

The new snow and wind slabs of Friday can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above the tree line, caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. These places are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. Mostly avalanches are only small. As the day progresses mostly small loose snow avalanches are possible, in the event of solar radiation especially. On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible as a consequence of the new snow. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.

Some snow will fall on Sunday. The wind will be moderate adjacent to ridgelines. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on soft layers on near-ridge shady slopes. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. Only a little snow is lying.

Individual gliding avalanches and snow slides are possible, but they will be mostly small. Wind slabs are now only very rarely prone to triggering.
