Western Carniche Prealps

The weather report and anticipated change in the avalanche danger are uncertain. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent in the late morning. The wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects.

On steep slopes small and medium-sized dry slab avalanches are possible. The avalanche prone locations are to be found at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. As a consequence of warming small and medium-sized natural moist avalanches are possible below approximately 1800 m.

The wind slabs remain prone to triggering. The new snow of the last few days is bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. The weather conditions will give rise to moistening of the snowpack especially at low and intermediate altitudes.
