In sintesi

It is going to be a sunny day with a few clouds. Solar input will increase the potential for triggering loose wet avalanches.

Problemi valanghivi

    Dimensione
    1–1.5
    The snow surface will weaken with increasing air temperatures and solar input during the day and increase the likelihood of thin loose wet avalanches running in steep terrain, especially on those slopes facing the sun.

Avalanche Summary

In the north of the region on Wednesday several size 1 loose dry and wind slab avalanches were reported in the alpine and at treeline on north and west aspects. On Tuesday a natural size 2 loose wet avalanche and a skier triggered size 1 wind slab avalanche on a northerly aspect were reported. On Monday loose wet avalanche activity up to size 2 was reported on solar aspects.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 15 cm of recent snow at upper elevations is bonding well with a variety of snow layers underneath, but there might still be isolated wind slab which can be triggered by humans. On higher north aspects above 2000 m it may sit on some dry, faceted snow. At most other places the new snow is sitting on either moist snow or a crust.
