Avalanche Activity

Moderate snowdrift problem

Avalanche danger above 2300 m is MODERATE, below that altitude danger is LOW. A small-to-medium slab avalanche can be triggered, especially near ridgelines, by large additional loading.. Most avalanche prone locations are located on N/E facing slopes, with ascending altitude also on south-facing slopes

Snowpack Structure

Atop a compact old snowpack which is topped by a melt-freeze crust or a rain crust there is powder and snowdrifts. In some places the snowdrifts are blanketed by fresher snow. Exposed terrain is windblown. Bonding amont the individual layers is mostly good.
