Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger

Avalanche danger is LOW. Isolated small-to-medium sized glide-snow avalanches can release on extremely steep slopes where the ground is smooth. Also superficial loose-snow slides are posible on extremely steep slopes. From place to place, snowdrifts have been formed on ridges, but the risks of taking a fall outweigh those of being buried in snow.

Snowpack Structure

A few centimetres of fresh snow have been deposited atop a compact but already quite moist old snowpack.
