Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2600m, E-SE-S-SW-W
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
The fresh wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above the tree line. They are prone to triggering. This applies in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Individual gliding avalanches are possible, even quite large ones, especially in the regions with a lot of snow below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp 2: gliding snow
In particular in the Ortler Range, in the Ultental and in the Dolomites 5 to 15 cm of snow. will fall, in particular during the night. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the wind will be strong to storm force. The fresh wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The sometimes large wind slabs are lying on soft layers. They are prone to triggering. The older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack.
The old snowpack will be moist below the tree line.
Tendency
Moderate, level 2. Hardly any decrease in avalanche danger.
