Bollettino valanghe

Many slopes are safe from avalanches due to a lack of snow coverage and very firm wind-pressed snow surfaces above treeline. You may be able to trigger a small avalanche in areas of drifted snow on steep alpine slopes. Most snow is confined to gullies, concave slopes, and wind-sheltered areas. Even small avalanches can be dangerous if triggered in steep terrain that terminates in exposed rocks or cliffs.
