Lo esencial

Both wind slabs and persistent weak layers remain a concern in steep alpine terrain.

Continually assess as you travel, and back off terrain when signs of instability are observed.

    Recent variable winds have created wind slabs in alpine terrain atop a variety of old surfaces.

  • Persistent Slabs

    A layer of facets over a crust is buried 80 to 150cm. There have been no new reports of avalanches on this layer, and it is likely difficult to trigger with the generally stable weather.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity has been reported.

Snowpack Summary

Recent light snowfall has been redistributed by variable winds at higher elevations.

A dusting of new snow will bury a supportive crust found on south-facing slopes.

A persistent weak layer of facets and crust is buried 80 to 150 cm deep in alpine terrain. The greatest concern for triggering comes from large loads, such as cornice falls, or from human triggering in areas where the snowpack transitions from thin to thick.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
  • Avoid steep, rocky, and wind-affected areas where triggering slabs is more likely.
  • Be aware of the potential for large, destructive avalanches due to deeply buried weak layers.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
