Dolomites of Fiemme North

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep slopes at elevated altitudes.

The snowpack will be generally well bonded. The wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. The high temperatures as the day progresses will give rise to softening of the snowpack in some places in particular on steep sunny slopes.

Low avalanche danger will prevail. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming there will be an increase in the danger of wet avalanches.

The hard wind slabs 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 adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are easy to recognise. Wind slabs are to be avoided especially in terrain where there is a danger of falling. On steep sunny slopes wet small and medium sized avalanches are possible as the day progresses.
