Avalanche Activity

Some new snow atop

Avalanche danger is low. New fallen snow can be problematic. In isolated cases the new snow can release naturally as loose snow avalanches in steep rocky terrain. Releases are small. Frequency of avalanche prone locations increases slightly during the course of the day.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh snow is deposited atop a patchy, encrusted but stable old snowpack, in south aspects atop bare ground. At higher altitudes the fresh snow is deposited atop soft snow layers, especially on the shady side. New snow and old snowpack have not bonded well everywhere. Therefore, the snow can be prone to triggering in some places. Near the ground, the snowpack is wet and rough-grained.

Tendency

Depending on the amounts of new snow and onsetting winds, avalanche danger will rise during the next days.
