Vicentine Prealps

In some localities up to 15 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow and wind a moderate avalanche danger will be encountered in some localities.

In some localities up to 15 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow and wind a moderate avalanche danger will be encountered in some localities.

As a consequence of new snow and wind the prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line. Over a wide area only a little snow is now lying below approximately 1900 m.

The new snow is bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 1900 m. Above the tree line, shady slopes: In some places various wind slab layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted and weak. Over a wide area only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
