Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from easterly directions, wind slabs formed on Wednesday in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These can in some cases be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular on shady slopes above the tree line in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation.

Snowpack Structure

In particular along the border with Veneto 5 to 10 cm of snow has fallen. The wind was strong for a temporary period in some regions. The fresh wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on wind-protected shady slopes. The old snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.

Tendency

The conditions will foster a rapid stabilisation of the snowpack.
