Kernpunkte

The upper snowpack continues to strengthen with cooling temperatures, though travel conditions remain challenging.

Lawinenprobleme

    Possible
    Größe
    1–1.5

    In some areas, recent snow has been redistributed into thin wind slabs over a hard crust.

    In areas where the surface crust isn't present or doesn't support your weight, weak layers deeper in the snowpack could still be human-triggered.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

Snowpack Summary

A widespread crust of varying thickness exists at all elevations. As much as 10 cm of dry snow may sit atop the crust in some areas.

A weak layer consisting of a crust and facets may persist in areas, down roughly 30 to 80 cm from the surface. A second crust exists down roughly 100 cm or more.

The lower snowpack is characterized by weak basal facets in many areas.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
  • Wind slabs may be poorly bonded to the underlying crust.
  • Avalanche hazard may have improved, but be mindful that deep instabilities are still present.
