Southern Adamello

The avalanche conditions are generally favourable. Old wind slabs require caution.

The avalanche conditions are generally favourable. Old wind slabs require caution.

The wind slabs are mostly easy to recognise but can be released in isolated cases. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 2400 m. This applies in particular on steep shady slopes. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist loose snow avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep sunny slopes. Mostly avalanches are small.

The snowpack will be quite stable. Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes. In particular at low and intermediate altitudes a little snow is lying.

The avalanche danger will persist.
