    Likely - Very Likely
    Größe

    Loose wet slides will be occurring as temperatures warm up on all aspects. South aspects will be the most likely areas to be concerned about. Some loose wet slides may pull out slabs on underlying slopes.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Hochgebirge
    • Waldgrenze
    • Unterhalb der Waldgrenze
    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Possible
    Größe
    3–6
    Solar radiation is triggerring some deeper slabs failing at ground and running to the end of their normal runouts.

Avalanche Summary

Little to no avalanche activity in the last 24 hours to report.

Snowpack Summary

The snowpack saw less affect from solar radiation today with the cooler temperatures but overall, the snowpack is isothermal down lower, and hard and frozen at higher elevations.  North aspects still have some sheers in the upper snowpack 2500m and above but below this the snowpack is a series of crusts and isothermal snow.

Confidence

High - Freezing levels are uncertain

Weather Forecast

HIgh freezing levels and WARM temps are forecast for Thursday.  The sun will have a large influence on stability over the next 24hrs so be sure to keep a mindful eye on the aspect and overhead terrain as you travel.
