Monregalese Valleys

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses.

As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches during the day being released will increase gradually in particular on very steep sunny slopes at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of a light to moderate wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls as well as above approximately 2000 m. Ski touring and other off-piste activities, including snowshoe hiking, call for careful route selection.

The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack. Over a wide area wind slabs are lying on the smooth surface of an old snowpack.
