Avalanche Activity

Little snow in the valleys, danger of injuries from falls

Avalanche danger is low. Snowdrift accumulations are problematic in some places. In isolated cases, fresh snowdrifts in steep ridgeline terrain in NW/N/NE aspects can trigger small slab avalanches by 1 person. Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow.

Snowpack Structure

All in all a compact snowpack, stable by and large. At high altitudes, small snowdrift accumulations have been generated by S/W winds which lie deposited atop loose weak layers. A melt-freeze crust forms at night, softens during the day. At lower altitudes the snowpack is becoming wetter. Little or now snow on the ground well into intermediate altitudes.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
