Lo esencial

Steady rain on Thursday will increase the avalanche hazard below tree-line. 

Problemas de aludes

  • Cornices

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible
    Tamaño
    2–3
    Cornice failures are still being noted periodically on West aspects 2500-2800m.

  • Loose Wet

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Likely
    Tamaño
    1–2
    Rain (5-20 mm) possible on Thursday will increase this problem below tree-line.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Unlikely - Possible
    Tamaño
    2–4
    The deep instability could be triggered by a cornice failure. It is well bridged by a solid mid-pack.

Weather Forecast

15 cm of snow is expected above tree-line by late Thursday afternoon.  This snow will come in with light W winds that will shift to North.  The freezing level will rise to 2000 m  Thursday.  Snow will continue into Saturday with 25 cm total.

Snowpack Summary

20 cm of loose new snow sits over a melt freeze crust in many locations above tree line. The mid-pack is consolidated and bridges the weak base. The bottom snowpack is a mix of weak facets and depth hoar.

Avalanche Summary

Some small solar point releases noted out of rocky areas today.

Confidence

Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain on Thursday
