Overview
- The slide released around 14:00 near Claviere in the Susa Valley on terrain between groomed runs and off‑piste areas.
- A ski instructor reported seeing at least two or three people in the path, prompting helicopter and ground deployments by 115/118, mountain rescue with K9 units, and carabinieri ski teams.
- Rescue sources later said searches found no skiers and the initial report of people involved was not confirmed.
- The official bulletin set avalanche danger at level 3 above 2,000 meters and level 2 below, warning of unstable wind slabs and possible medium to locally large spontaneous avalanches.
- Separately, the Piedmont mountain rescue president said tracks suggest four freeriders may have triggered the slide, a claim reported as his assessment and not independently verified.
