Problemas de aludes

  • Loose Wet

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible - Likely
    Tamaño
    1–2
    As the snowpack warms we become increasingly susceptible to loose wet avalanches. Steep terrain and gullies should be treated with caution if the snow is moist or wet.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Unlikely - Possible
    Tamaño
    2–4
    In general the bottom layers are still weak and suspect. Especially in the alpine and/or polar aspects. Large triggers such as a big influx of heat or a cornice collapse can wake up these basal layers.

Weather Forecast

Avalanche Summary

Loose wet avalanches are still occurring as the day warms up and temperatures increase.  Temperature and quality of freeze overnight is whats is driving the avalanche hazard right now.  Cold and good freeze means avalanches are less likely, as temps warm up and overnight freezes become less common, avalanches will be likely. 

Snowpack Summary

The winters snow has generally melted off at lower elevations but significant snow can still be found in alpine terrain.  As long as there is snow in the mountains there is avalanche potential so always be thinking about consequences as you travel and what would happen if.  Cornices should also be carefully evaluated.
