Lo esencial

It is important to be disciplined with terrain choices. Many slopes look quite attractive with the recent snow, but the Feb 10th layer still needs time to heal. Human-triggering remains likely.

    Naturally triggered avalanche activity has subsided, but human triggering remains touchy. The Feb 10 persistent weak layer will be a problem for some time and is now buried 35 and 70cm. Whumpfing and cracking have been observed in recent days.

Good
