Kernpunkte

Do not let the clear skies trick you into skiing big slopes as the snowpack is weak.

    • Hochgebirge
    • Waldgrenze
    • Unterhalb der Waldgrenze
    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Possible - Likely

    If this layers if triggered, there is a likelihood of entraining the entire snowpack with it

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Hochgebirge
    • Waldgrenze
    • Unterhalb der Waldgrenze
    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Possible
    Größe

    The big concern is that if anything gets triggered within the snowpack, then the entire snowpack would fail on the basal facets.

Avalanche Summary

One size 2.5 slab avalanche probably cornice triggered just below ridgeline East face of Snowpeak (2500m)
