Avalanche Activity

Heed risk of taking a fall on smooth snowpack surfaces in steep terrain

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: old snow. In isolated cases wintersports enthusiasts can trigger weak intermediate layers in the old snowpack in wind-loaded areas adjacent to ridgelines. Avalanches tend to remain small-sized. The risks of taking a fall outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 10 cm of new snow have fallen today (Thursday). Another 10 cm of new snow are anticipated by Friday afternoon. The fresh snow is mostly deposited directly on the bare ground or deposited well bonded on a strongly wind-impacted old snowpack surface. On leeward summit slopes a few small older snowdrift accumulations remain that are prone to triggering.

Tendency

It will stay chilly and time and again there will be a little snowfall. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly over the next few days.
