Upper Susa and Chisone Valleys

The snowpack will be generally stable.

The snowpack will be generally stable.

The avalanche prone locations are rather rare. Dry avalanches can in isolated cases be released by people, but they will be small in most cases. Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on northeast to east to southeast facing aspects at intermediate and high altitudes. The numerous rocks hidden by the recent snow are the main danger.

In all aspects thus far only a little snow is lying in all altitude zones. The snowpack consists of faceted crystals; its surface consists of loosely bonded snow, especially on shady slopes. On sunny slopes the snowpack is frozen but the crust is only thin. The old snowpack is hard.
