Two days of fresh snow have been recorded across the Alps, prompting avalanche and snow-safety advice. Winter weather watchers are being urged to watch for wind loading on lee slopes, where drifting snow can build unstable slabs. Observers note that fresh snow depth alone does not tell the whole story about snow quality and safety.
Why now: Recent Alpine snowfall has skiers and backcountry users checking conditions and avalanche risk.
Evidence
- Fresh snow across the Alps over the last 2 days. Watch wind loading on lee slopes. Fresh snow alone does not tell the whole quality story. Interesting one today. # skiweather # snow # weather https:// skiweather.eu/snowaccumulation · skiweather@meteo.social · 1
