Southern Adamello

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

In some regions 2 to 10 cm of snow will fall above approximately 1000 m. Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering on very steep shady slopes. The old snowpack will be generally stable. At elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

The avalanche danger will persist. As a consequence of the sometimes storm force wind the wind slabs will increase in size moderately.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

The older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force northwesterly wind, mostly small wind slabs will form. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. They are to be avoided especially in extremely steep terrain. In the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 2 (moderate) the avalanche danger is higher. Mostly avalanches are small.
