LIVIGNO, SNOW QUALITY REPORT

The daily services the resort offers freeride enthusiasts have been further increased. From the avalanche report it has been issuing since the 2013/14 season to a snow report enabling visitors to monitor the quality of the skiing, the snow cover conditions and the likelihood of hitting stones when skiing off-piste.

The Freeride Project, the only one of its kind in Italy, has been running in Livigno for a good few seasons, and is based on a service providing local, daily information about the stability of the snow cover. It completes the regional avalanche report issued by ARPA (Regional Environmental Protection Agency) in Bormio and that of the Swiss avalanche centre, SLF. This innovation means that, every morning, freeriders can access the very latest information about the local conditions in a number of different ways: through the news issued by the official Livigno website (www.livigno.eu), videos displayed at the ski lift stations, information boards in the village, newsletters issued to operators and using the specially designed App. (https://www.livigno.eu/bollettino-valanghe)

The service has been further improved and perfected for this winter season to include information about the conditions of the slopes and the quality of the snow. Everyday, visitors can access the information provided by three different images displaying snow conditions and quality, and the likelihood of hitting stones when skiing. The data take into consideration the Livigno skiing area, from 3000m a.s.l. to the village at 1816m, split into three different sections: alpine, in the woods, and the area under the woods, which are shown in three different colours corresponding to different parameters.

Moreover, as in past years, a weekly meeting is held by the Alpine Guides to provide skiers with detailed information about the use of rescue equipment: ARTVA avalanche transceivers, spades and probes. For the non-skiers amongst our visitors, the Freeride Project has provided two routes for snowshoe wearers with itineraries that are cleared of risks and accessible to everyone.
