Kernpunkte

A skier remotely triggered a size 3 avalanche today in the Portal creek drainage from 300m away, deep instabilities remain in the snowpack.

Lawinenprobleme

    Größe

    The buried surface hoar layer remains a concern in areas that have not recently avalanched. Variable winds have made judging bridging strength/depth a difficult task. Solar effect will weaken the bridging effect of the slab on exposed slopes.

    Recent mod-strong alpine winds have formed slabs and large cornices on lee slopes. Cornices anchors are weakened by solar radiation, especially along rocky, wind-exposed ridges. Cornice failure and windslab avalanches may trigger deeper layers.

    Surface snow is responding to the strong solar radiation effect that happens in March and April. Ice climbers should also be wary of large pillows of snow still overhanging routes on solar aspects.
