Kernpunkte

This forecast is based on limited information. Snow amounts are also uncertain. Treat this as a first estimation of avalanche danger and be prepared to adjust your decisions based on observed conditions.

    Wind slab avalanches are expected to form in response to loading from new snow and wind. The new snow may not bond well to the underlying crust.

Confidence

Low - Intensity of incoming weather systems is uncertain

Avalanche Summary

There was a natural avalanche cycle on Sunday. On Monday no activity was reported. On Tuesday, I'm expecting mostly small wind slab avalanches in exposed terrain.

Snowpack Summary

Recent heavy rain saturated the upper snowpack at all elevations before depositing 10-20 cm of new snow at higher elevations on Sunday morning. Below any new snow accumulations, the previously rain-soaked upper snow has formed a crust, reported to be thick (15 cm) below treeline and thin (2cm) in the alpine. Treeline snow depths are approximately 90 cm throughout the region.
