Avalanche Problems

Deep Persistent Slabs

Cornice failure could trigger this layer on steep, unsupported NE aspect slopes. A skier or climber could still trigger this slab from a shallow spot in the snowpack on steep NE aspects.

Aspects: North, North East, East.

Elevations: Alpine.

Likelihood: Unlikely

Expected Size: 2 - 4

Loose Dry

Light snowfall has buried a surface hoar layer. It is not currently a concern for large avalanches, but will become a problem when buried by the next storm.

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

Elevations: All elevations.

Likelihood: Unlikely

Expected Size: 1 - 2
