Avalanche Forecast

(As of March 3rd) Near the summits, the wind has redistributed the available snow, exposing the crust or ice at the surface and creating an overlay of hard wind slabs. In more sheltered places, 10 to 25 cm of low density, but intensely skied snow cover the February 17th crust about 5 cm thick which supports the weight of a person. The middle of the snowpack is well consolidated, with the January 18 crust down 40 to 70 cm below the surface. At the base of the snowpack, there is a bread of laminated crusts with decomposing snow.

In general, the height of the snowpack varies from 100 to 180 cm.
