Eastern Carnic Prealps

The fresh snow as well as the resulting wind slabs represent the main danger.

The fresh snow as well as the resulting wind slabs represent the main danger.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and larger. In all aspects large and, in isolated cases, very large avalanches are possible. Avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Over a wide area in some localities up to 60 cm of snow has fallen. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. As a consequence of new snow and wind, deep wind slabs formed. They must be evaluated with care and prudence. Weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack.

In some regions light precipitation.
