Lo esencial

Spring conditions are here and good skiing can be found at treeline  and above. Pay close attention to the freezing levels and plan to finish your day before the melt freeze crust breaks down and the afternoon avalanche cycle starts.

Problemas de aludes

  • Cornices

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible
    Tamaño
    2–3
    Cornice failures are more likely with warm alpine temperatures.

  • Loose Wet

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible - Likely
    Tamaño
    1–2
    Freezing overnight temperatures decrease this danger in the morning, it increases with daytime heating, sun and rain. Most widespread during the late afternoon on solar facing slopes. Sluffs from rocks can trigger large slides once the snow is wet.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Unlikely - Possible
    Tamaño
    2–4
    The deep instability is well bridged by a solid mid-pack; however, it could be triggered by a cornice failure. This problem will transition to wet slabs as the snowpack warms this spring.

Weather Forecast

Spring weather until Tuesday with warm daytime temperatures and freezing level climbing to 2000m .  Freezing level dropping below 1000m overnight.  On Wednesday, warm weather expected with the freezing level climbing to 2600m and no overnight recovery.

Snowpack Summary

Winter conditions exist in the high alpine on Northerly slopes with up to 20 cm of loose new snow sitting over a well consolidated upper snowpack. Spring conditions exist on all other aspects and elevations with a melt freeze crust that is dependent on overnight freezing conditions. The snowpack is moist to wet snow to ground below this crust..

Avalanche Summary

Avalanche activity will increase after warm nights and/or with thermal inputs such as rain, solar radiation and daytime warming. The avalanche danger will be lowest after cold nights and strong crust formation and will increase into the afternoon and evening before sunset. Likely trigger spots are rocks, cliffy terrain and shallow snowpack areas.
