Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

Isolated wind-slabs up to 20cm deep in alpine lee areas.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East, South.

Elevations: Alpine.

Likelihood: Possible - Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 2

Storm Slabs

A rain crust from early November exists up to 2400 m and is now buried by 30 cm of recent storm snow. Storm snow is not reactive on this layer, but may become reactive over time. Monitor this layer before committing to any steeper terrain.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: All elevations.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2
