Lo esencial

Freezing levels are forecasted to soar above 3000 m, keeping avalanche hazard elevated.

Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended.

Problemas de aludes

  • Cornices

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Likely
    Tamaño
    1.5–2.5

    Cornices are large and overhanging and may release during the day with warm temperatures and possible sunny breaks.

  • Loose Wet

    Probabilidad
    Likely
    Tamaño
    1.5–2.5

    Saturated surface layers can be found even at upper elevations. Wet loose avalanches are expected on steep slopes at all elevations. Sunny breaks in the afternoon could increase the reactivity.

Confidence

Low

  • Uncertainty is due to how the snowpack will react to the forecast weather.

Avalanche Summary

Several size 2 wet loose avalanches were reported on Monday.

Rain has tapered, but warm temperatures and high freezing levels will keep human triggering of wet loose avalanches possible.

Snowpack Summary

Rain or wet snow above 2000 m from the past 24 hours has saturated the upper snowpack and has rapidly settled 50 to 80 cm of storm snow from last week. High freezing levels will keep the surface snow moist throughout the day.

The mid-December crust is 100 to 250 cm deep. This crust is 30 cm thick and well-bonded to the snow above.

Weather Summary

Monday Night
Cloudy. 5 to 25 mm of rain at treeline. 70 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 2600 m.

Tuesday
Mix of sun and cloud. 1 mm of rain at treeline. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 4 °C. Freezing level 3400 m.

Wednesday
Mostly sunny. 50 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 5 °C. Freezing level 3200 m.

Thursday
Sunny. 20 km/h north ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 2900 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Keep in mind that the high density of wet avalanches can make them destructive.
  • Loose avalanches may start small, but they can grow and push you into dangerous terrain.
  • Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.
