Upper Susa and Chisone Valleys

Dry slab avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. Below approximately 2400 m the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches will increase during the day.

Dry slab avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. Below approximately 2400 m the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches will increase during the day.

From the late morning as a consequence of warming there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches. This applies in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. In addition the wind slabs should be taken into account. The northwesterly wind has transported the fresh and old snow significantly. The fresh wind slabs can in many cases be released by a single winter sport participant. Dry slab avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. This applies especially on steep slopes adjacent to ridgelines.

The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. In particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed.
