Lo esencial

We are seeing a slow improvement in stability but human triggerred avalanches are still very possible.  Watch for thin weak areas as you move into treeline and above.

Problemas de aludes

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible
    Tamaño

    The Dec 13th Crust seems to disappear around 2200m. Watch for windslabs overlying this crust in and around this elevation band

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Unlikely - Possible
    Tamaño

    Avoid thin or variable snowpack areas especially in Alpine terrain.

Confidence

Good

Weather Forecast

Flurries are forecast to cross the region over the next few days but we are not expecting to see much accumulation over the next 24hrs.

Avalanche Summary

Some new sluffing out of steeper terrain.

Snowpack Summary

Not much has changed in the last while. The winds have recently spiked with the arrival of the warm temperatures. Some snow has been redistributed, but it seems this is more pronounced at lower elevations. The persistent layers are still the prominent feature in the snowpack. The Dec 13th rain crust is down 20-30cm's at 2200m. The mid pack is giving us the strength in the snowpack. It is consistently dense and bridging the weaker deep layers. The bottom layers are now one thick layer of facets and depth hoar.
