Avalanche Activity

Circumvent zones below glide cracks

Avalanche danger is low. Gliding snow is the main problem. In some places or on rock plates, small glide-snow avalanches can release at any time of day or night.

Snowpack Structure

The snow on sunny slopes and at low altitudes can form a melt-freeze crust at night which then softens during the daytime. Exposed ridges and crests are windblown, gullies, bowls and slopes near forest rims are filled with snow. The transported snow has settled in the interim. The entire snowpack can glide over grassy slopes and steep rock plates.
