Avalanche Summary

Early season, observations are limited. Thanks for sharing your observation through the Mountain Information Network if you head out.

No new avalanches have been observed or reported. Please share your observations at [email protected] or via the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

The snowpack remains thin, varying from 50 to 80 cm. 10 to 25 cm of snow covers the November 28 crust. The crust is present on all aspects and elevations, but becomes more brittle as we gain altitude. The summits are exposed to rock or crust. We have few observations in the Alps. Maximum-load zones, depressions and concavities may feature a thicker snowpack.

Weather Summary

Synopsis: Temperatures will remain cool over the next few days, with alternating sunshine and clouds. Light to moderate wind from the northwest.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
  • Winter conditions may exist in gullies, alpine bowls, and around ridgelines.
  • Avalanche danger is often elevated in alpine gullies where snow has accumulated.
