Problemi valanghivi

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    1–3
    Be alert for wind slabs behind terrain breaks such as ridges, ribs and gully walls.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Unlikely - Possible
    Dimensione
    2–5
    A deeply buried facet/crust weakness exists near the base of the snowpack. This layer could be triggered by large loads such as a cornice collapse or from a thin-spot trigger point.

Confidence

Poor - Due to limited field observations

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported recently.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 25 cm of recent snow is sitting over a weak, faceted old snow surface. Loose dry sluffing is likely in steep terrain sheltered from the wind. In wind-affected areas, wind slabs have formed behind terrain breaks such as ridges and ribs. A strong mid-pack overlies a weak base layer of facets and the remnants of a crust. New surface hoar growth at the surface may develop into a weak layer once buried with further snowfall.
