Avalanche Summary
On Wednesday several loose dry and wind slab avalanches up to size 1.5 were observed on northerly aspects in the alpine and at treeline. A few wet loose avalanches up to size 2 were observed on solar aspects. On Tuesday several loose avalanches and slab avalanches up to size were reported.
Snowpack Summary
The recently formed wind slabs in the alpine are bonding well to the underlying layers, but there might still be isolated pockets which can be triggered by humans. On higher north aspects above 2000 m the recent new snow is sitting on dry, faceted snow. At most other places the new snow is sitting on either moist snow or a crust. Below 1800 m the entire snowpack is isothermal [wet and slushy] underneath the melt/freeze crust.
