Techniques applied and economic evaluation in a direct protection forest of Piedmont. We describe silvicultural measures to enhance the mass flow protection service played by a larch-stone pine forest in Valle di Susa (Italy). We illustrate stand structure and stability, and issues due to snow gliding. We respond to this issue with the construction of temporary snow retention structures in order to stabilise the snowpack. We describe two types of structures and the technique for their construction, and analyze the cost-benefit tradeoff of the intervention.

We discuss forest composition and structure of the stand before and after the harvest, management goals, and silvicultural techniques. We quantify the costs of the intervention and assess its economy viability.
