  • A Network-Based Approach for the Study of Criticalities in Ski-Resorts
    International Snow Science Workshop Grenoble – Chamonix Mont-Blanc - 2013 A network-based approach for the study of criticalities in ski-resorts Valerio De Biagi1,2*, Barbara Frigo1,2 and Bernardino Chiaia1,2 1 Dept. of Structural, Geotechnical and Building Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, ITALY 2Mountain Risk Research Team – MRR Team, Verrès (AO) – Italy ABSTRACT: The correct management of ski-resorts requires wide knowledge in mountain hazards, as well as a large experience. Usually ski-resorts cover a surface that encompasses more than one side of a mountain (or more than one valley); for this reason, the meteorological conditions may vary locally and rapid decisions have to be taken in order to ensure the safety of the skiers. Any intervention on the structure of the resort may entail cascade events and other critical situations. For example, a temporary closure of a lift may create large queues in other parts of the ski-area. In the same way, a closure of a ski-slope might engender overcrowding in other ski runs. All these situations are potential sources of risk. We propose an approach to the study of criticalities in ski-resorts by means of transportation network approaches based on the ability of the skiers and the grade of the ski run. An example is made on the Antagnod branch of MonteRosaSki resort. The effects of a sudden interruption of part of it, i.e., ski- slope closure or lift temporary interruption, are simulated. KEYWORDS: Ski-resort management, Graph theory, Criticalities. others (2005) made a statistics of the average 1 INTRODUCTION speeds of skiers in three different ski resorts in the US.

  • Real-Time Detection of Natural Snow Avalanches by Infrasonic Array Network (IAN) on December 2012 in Valtournenche – Aosta Valley (IT)
    International Snow Science Workshop Grenoble – Chamonix Mont-Blanc - 2013 Real-time detection of natural snow avalanches by Infrasonic Array Network (IAN) on December 2012 in Valtournenche – Aosta Valley (IT) Durand N.1, Ulivieri G.2, Marchetti E.2 , Frigo B.*, 1, Dellavedova P.1, Ripepe M.2, Segor V.3 1 Fondazione Montagna sicura - Montagne sûre, Courmayeur (AO) – Italy; 2 Dipartimento Scienze della Terra, University of Firenze, Firenze - Italy; 3 Struttura assetto idrogeologico dei bacini montani – Ufficio Neve e Valanghe, Regione Autonoma Valle d’Aosta, Quart (AO) - Italy; ABSTRACT: Since 2009 and within the Operational programme Italy-France (Alps ALCOTRA) – Pro- jects “DynAval” (2009-2012) and “Map3“ (2012-2014), infrasonic array technology is tested in Aosta Valley to real-time detect the natural and artificial avalanche activity in the Alpine areas. In winter 2012, an Infrasonic Array Network (IAN) operates around the Monte Rosa and Matterhorn areas, mon- itoring ~250 km2 of Valtournenche, Ayas and Gressoney Valleys. If single infrasonic array allows de- tecting small-to-medium size (~500 m3) powder avalanches in the 3-10 km distance range, providing relative location (direction of provenience and recording time) of the source, the IAN allows more pre- cise location (geographic position and time of occurrence), and the broadening of the area covered by the avalanche monitoring system. Information on identified events are broadcasted automatically in real-time (every 15 minutes), thus indicating potential sectors where avalanches might have occurred during the last 24 h or where to focus further avalanche control activity. The validation of the locations is done by comparing ground-truth (natural or artificial) avalanche events with the infrasonic meas- urements.

  • Een Kleine Vallei Met Een Groots Verhaal
    Een kleine vallei met een groots verhaal. Valle d’Aosta is de kleinste regio van Italië. Ze is omringd door de hoogste toppen van Europa en bestaat uit het centrale dal van de Dora Baltea, van- waar 13 kleinere zijdalen lopen die worden doorkruist door gletsjers en stro- men. Sinds de oudheid is het een belangrijk kruispunt van de westelijke Alpen. Op dit moment is het verbonden met Frankrijk via de Mont Blanc-tunnel en de Kleine Sint-Bernhardpas en met Zwitserland via de Grote Sint-Bernhardpas en -tunnel. De vallei was al in de prehistorie bewoond en werd bezet door de Salassi, een Gallo-Keltische bevolkingsgroep die na een lange strijd werd verdreven door de Romeinen in de 1ste eeuw v.Chr. De Romeinen vestigden zich in de regio en stichtten de stad Augusta Praetoria in 25 v.Chr. De vallei kwam later in handen van de Bourgondiërs, de Longobarden en de Karolin- gers tot ze de eigendom werd van het vorstenhuis Savoye. In 1191 verleende Thomas I van Savoye de “Carta delle Franchigie”, die het politieke en admi- nistratieve zelfbestuur erkende en van kracht bleef tot 1770. De vallei kende een vorm van autonomie met eigen wetten en werd bestuurd door de Staten Generaal, en vanaf 1536 door het Conseil des Commis, een soort bestuursraad die uit 24 leden bestond. Napoleon trok tijdens zijn campagne in Italië door de regio in 1800 en bracht de idealen van de revolutie met zich mee. Dit wekte sympathie en haat, bewondering en angst op en vormde de aanleiding voor legendes en verhalen die vandaag de dag nog steeds in de vallei worden verteld.

The ski area links Gressoney with Alagna and Champoluc and in total there are about 200km of pisted terrain. The off-piste options include everything from wide open powder fields, perfect for mastering your technique, to excellent treeskiing and steep, narrow couloirs. Add in the vertical drop of around 2000m from the top lift and the fact that during the week the slopes are often deserted and you’ll understand why this is one of our favourite ski areas. The hospitality and food in the region is typically Italian and you will enjoy plenty of fantastic local food and wine during your stay. Objectives of the trip To improve your off-piste skiing and your confidence by providing first class guiding from our pro Mountain Guides. To explore the best off piste skiing Gressoney has to offer. To provide practical mountain awareness training on the risks and hazards of backcountry skiing. Our top reasons to visit Gressoney Extensive off-piste terrain and a reputation for great freeriding Gressoney, together with Champoluc and Alagna make up the Monterosa ski area, the largest in Italy Charming Italian ambience One of the best heliskiing resorts in the Alps Minimal touristic development area means the slopes are often deserted especially during the week Easy access from Turin Airport make it a viable weekend or short break destination Travel to and from Gressoney You want to arrange to arrive in Gressoney by late afternoon on the first day.

  • Determining the Drivers for Snow Gliding
    Determining the drivers for snow gliding Reinhard Fromm1, Sonja Baumgärtner2, Georg Leitinger2, Erich Tasser3, Peter Höller1 1Federal Research and Training Centre for Forests, Natural Hazards and Landscape – BFW, Department of Natural Hazards, Innsbruck, 6020, Austria 5 2Institute2Department of Ecology, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, 6020, Austria 3Institute for Alpine Environment, Eurac research, Bozen, 39100, Italy Correspondence to: Reinhard Fromm ([email protected]) 10 Abstract. Snow gliding is a key factor for snow glide avalanche formation and soil erosion. This study considers atmospheric and snow variables, vegetation characteristics, and soil properties, and determines their relevance for snow gliding at a test site (Wildkogel, Upper Pinzgau, Austria) during winter 2014/15. The time-dependent data were collected at a high temporal resolution. In addition to conventional sensors a ‘snow melt analyzer’ was used. The analysis shows that the soil temperature 10 cm below the surface, the phytomass of mosses, the liquid water content in 15 the snowpack, and the static friction coefficient of the glide shoes had significant influence on snow gliding during the whole winter. In the first period (October to January) the soil moisture at the surface and 1.5cm below the surface and the length of the slope uphill the glide shoes affected the snow gliding, too. In the second period (February to May) the soil temperature at the surface, the soil moisture 10cm below the surface, and the slope angle had additional influence on snow gliding. The role of the vegetation in the snow glide process is determined by the influence on the static friction coefficient caused by 20 its composition and characteristics and that moss-rich and short-stemmed canopies seem to be more interconnected with the snowpack.

Investigation about the phenomena was needed to detect individuate the water retention inside or under the glacier that originated the glacial stream (Torrente Fossu), now dried. An eventual sudden increase in water run-off would flow, via the Torrente Fossu, through the densely populated area of Breuil-Cervinia: a first field survey was immediately carried out in order to observe in-situ conditions and eventual morphological evidences. No surface evidence of glacial collapse or water pocket formation was reported, but further investigations had to be planned to assess the presence of water pockets beneath the glacier surface. A first field survey was performed by collecting Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data along several profiles that covered all the North-East part of the glacier; this is the part of the glacier from which water would potentially flow towards the stream. The resulting radargrams detected a subglacial cavity with an estimated volume of some thousands of cubic meters; an accurate analysis of the cavity volume was not possible.
