Avalanche Activity

Significant rise in avalanche danger as snowfall intensifies

Danger level 4 - “high” - will be reached above 1800m starting at midday. Due to intensive snowfall, increasingly frequent naturally triggered avalanches can be expected during the course of the day, also large-sized releaes, even by minimum additional loading. Remote triggerings are possible, particularly on steep wind-protected slopes where there has been lots of fresh snow. Also treacherous: the foot of rock walls. On extremely steep stopes, mostly small loose-snow avalanches can be expected. In isolated cases the thoroughly wet snowpack can be swept along, which lengthens the plummet zone of the release. In addition, during the afternoon in the major areas of precipitation, mostly small-sized glide-snow avalanches can release in isolated cases. Exposed sectors of transportation route can be endanged from place to place. A great deal of experience in the assessment of avalanche dangers is imperative.

Snowpack Structure

Above 1800m, 50-120cm of fresh snow is anticipated, localy more. The strong-velocity winds will transport the fresh snow intensively. On shady wind-protected slopes above 1800m: lots of fresh snow and drifts will be deposited atop an unfavorable old snowpack surface. Shady slopes where the snow is shallow above 1800m: fresh snow and drifts will be deposited atop a weak old snowpack surface. Sunny slopes above 2200m: fresh snow and drifts will be deposited atop a crust. Extremely steep grass-covered slopes below 2000m: weather conditions are bringing about a generaly increase in danger of glide-snow avalanches.

Weather Forecast

On Tuesday, a low over Italy will bring heavy precipitation, snowfall level at 1400-1700m, as snowfall intensifies descending to 1000m. Towards evening and during the nighttime hours, the snowfall level will descend generally to 1000m, but the precipitation will then be nearly over. The SW winds will be strong-to-stormy, reaching windspeeds of 70 km/hr. At 1000m: +6 degrees; at 2000m: 0 degrees.

Tendency

Naturally triggered slab avalanches will decrease when the intensive snowfall comes to an end
