Snowpack Summary

Previous strong SW winds stripped all aspects in the alpine. New snow with warm temperatures and moderate winds have likely create new wind slabs. Above freezing temperature to 2000m will likely result in a future crust. A 1-2cm thick crust 80cm down is found up to 2500m. Below this crust are more crusts or facets depending on elevation.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed on Monday.
