Avalanche Activity
Heed risk of taking a fall in steep terrain
Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: snowdrift accumulations. Small snowdrifts can be triggered in places above the treeline on N/E ridgeline slopes and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Avalanche tend to remain small-sized, at high altitudes sometimes medium-sized. The dangers of taking a fall outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.
Snowpack Structure
Strong winds and the fresh fallen snow is being transported, deposited atop the older snowdrifts, the snowdrifts are growing in size. Inside the drifts are weak intermediate layers generated in the interims of precipitation and shifting wind velocities: these are prone to triggering. Bonding deteriorates with ascending altitude. In wind-exposed zones and at lower altitudes, the old snowpack is shallow and melt-freeze encrusted.
Tendency
Little change amid continuing strong-velocity winds
