Avalanche Activity

Danger of falling in extremely steep terrain

Avalanche danger is low. Weak layers in the older snowpack can be problematic. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in particular in places with little snow by large additional loading. Isolated avalanche prone locations occur in particular in extremely steep ridgeline terrain in W-N-E aspects. Dangers of being swept along and injured outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

Snowpack Structure

A few centimeters of loose new snow blanket a well settled old snowpack surface. At highest altitude, weak layers persist in some places in the uppermost part of the snowpack on shady slopes. Elsewhere, the snowpack is mostly stable, several melt-freeze crusts are embedded. The snowpack base is slightly moist down to the ground.
