Upper Susa and Chisone Valleys

The avalanche danger will increase a little during the day.

The avalanche danger will increase a little during the day.

The more recent wind slabs of the weekend must be evaluated with care and prudence. In particular gullies and bowls as well as places that are protected from the wind: These can in some cases be released by a single winter sport participant. In particular on steep sunny slopes more dry and moist avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation more avalanches are possible as the day progresses, even large ones in isolated cases.

In some places new snow and wind slabs are lying on the smooth surface of an old snowpack. This applies especially at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, along the border with France. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise from early morning to increasing moistening of the snowpack in some places on sunny slopes. Sunny slopes: As a consequence of sharply rising temperatures and solar radiation a crust will form on the surface during the next few days.

The avalanche danger will decrease gradually.
