Regions

Glacier.

The snowpack is melted away except in the high alpine, and summer mountaineering season is here. Get up early and take advantage of an alpine start to make the most of a cold morning before the snow turns wet in the afternoons

Snowpack Summary

The summer snowpack exists in high alpine (above 3000m) and on glaciated areas, and consists mainly of well settled summer snow with the occasional dump of fresh snow and windslabs following a storm. Look for a solid overnight freeze for the best conditions, and avoid steep slopes when they're baking in the sun or soaked with rain.

Avalanche Summary

During the second half of the summer, the high mountains have shed most of their winter snowpack. Following a summer snowstorm, windslabs can be expected during the immediate 24-48 hours following the storm.
