Avalanche problems

  • Loose Wet

    • Alpine
    • Treeline
    • Below treeline
    Likelihood
    Possible - Likely
    Size
    1–2

    Rising temperatures and sun in combination with the new snowfall may increase the problem's potential. Be aware of the potential for loose wet or dry avalanches in steep terrain where snow hasn't bonded.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alpine
    • Treeline
    • Below treeline
    Likelihood
    Unlikely
    Size
    2–3.5

    There is a lot of uncertainty in the reactivity and likelihood of the basal layer being triggered. Warm temperatures penetrating deeper into the snowpack may tickle this deep instability.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • The likelihood of deep persistent slab avalanches will increase with each day of warm weather.
  • Minimize your exposure time below cornices.
