Kernpunkte

Temps are forecast to cool and a few cm's of snow will likely fall each day over the course of the weekend.  Great time to head out ice climbing at the skiing is a bit rigged in many areas...

    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Possible
    Größe
    1–3
    Hard windslabs dominate the alpine.  Be thinking about thin areas and wide propagations at this time. 

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Hochgebirge

    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Possible

    Persistent slabs are 35 to 80cm thick are are widespread in Alpine lee features and in more specific areas at treeline. Likely touchy in shallow snowpack areas.

Snowpack Summary

Not much a changing out there these days.  Thursdays snowfall has given us a "dust on crust on all solar aspects and all aspects 2100m that is poorly bonded to the underlying surface.  High and north are the best/only places where its likely that you will be able to find dry well settled snow.  In general, Hard windslabs dominate the alpine areas and any avalanche that is initiatied is likely to propogate far and wide across a terrain feature.  At treeline, watch for windslabs and persistent slabs in steep unsupported terrain.
