Confidence
Avalanche Problems
Wind Slabs
Possible small pockets poorly boded to older surface in steep locations.
- Avoid freshly wind loaded features.
Aspects: North, North East, East, South East.
Elevations: Alpine.
Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible
Expected Size: 1 - 2
Deep Persistent Slabs
Weak basal facets are generally well bridged. However, at isolated shallower locations a large deep slab may be triggered.
- Be aware of the potential for large, deep avalanches.
Aspects: All aspects.
Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.
Likelihood: Unlikely
Expected Size: 3 - 4
