The formation of new vented snow sheets is expected due to the expected snowfall, accompanied by strong winds from the south and southwest. It is expected that, above 2400 m, the new plates generated may fall in our path, generally being of size 1 (small dimensions), although, locally, and especially in the extreme north of the sector, where it can As more new snow accumulates, they may have the capacity to bury a person. Despite the scarcity of snow on some slopes, it is necessary to be wary, since the accumulations are not considered stable, especially in the shade and where there are excessive accumulations, especially for Friday, with the expected new snowfall, deposited on a old mantle that generates bad contact with the new snow.

Snowpack Structure

We found snow on the ground above 1500m, but it is patchy up to 2200-2400m. The thicknesses at 2200 m are around 30-40 cm

Tendency

The danger from blowing snow will remain unchanged.
