New snow and wind slabs require caution.

New snow and wind slabs require caution.

The new snow represents the main danger. This snow can be released very easily in all aspects at intermediate and high altitudes. As a consequence of snowfall and the strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. These can be released easily by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above the tree line. At high altitude and in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation these avalanche prone locations are more prevalent, caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example.

In particular from the Adamello- Presanella to the Brenta Range up to 50 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1500 m. The fresh wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack in all aspects above the tree line. Shady slopes: The old snowpack is faceted.

Increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the new snow. The sometimes strong wind will transport the new snow. Fresh wind slabs are to be evaluated critically.
