Eastern Carnic Prealps

The fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs that are forming over a wide area can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant, in all aspects above the tree line.

The fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs that are forming over a wide area can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant, in all aspects above the tree line.

In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation and on wind-loaded slopes medium-sized dry slab avalanches are possible as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. Especially in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack and reach large size in isolated cases.

The new snow and wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack. The wind slabs have bonded poorly together. The sometimes large wind slabs are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Weak layers exist deep in the snowpack in particular at high altitude.

Over a wide area some new snow.
