Monregalese Valleys

The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering at intermediate and high altitudes. Along the border with France the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.

The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering at intermediate and high altitudes. Along the border with France the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.

Along the border with France light precipitation. More recent wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects and generally at elevated altitudes. This applies in particular on steep slopes, and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The avalanches can be released in the new snow and wind slab layers and reach large size. Individual gliding avalanches can also occur. Careful route selection and spacing between individuals are recommended.

In particular along the border with France in some localities up to 15 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 2200 m. As a consequence of high temperatures and rain up to intermediate altitudes the snowpack could not consolidate during the last few days. Above approximately 1500 m a lot of snow is lying. The unusual weather conditions will give rise to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack.

With the easing of the wind, the natural avalanche activity will gradually decrease.
