Avalanche Activity

Fresh snowdrift accumulations prone to triggering in summit and ridgeline terrain.

Avalanche danger is low. Snowdrifts can be problematic. Fresh small snowdrift accumulations can be triggered as small slab avalanches by minimal additional loading. Isolated avalanche prone locations occur in particular in extremely steep ridgeline terrain in SE-S-NW aspects. The risks of of being swept outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

Snowpack Structure

CEasterly winds will generate small fresh snowdrift accumulations close to ridges. Wind-exposed east-facing crests and ridges are frequently heavily corniced. In north-facing terrain there are soft layers underneath a melt-freeze crust in the uppermost part of the snowpack. The old snowpack base is stable, moist down to the ground. Regions exposed to wind and sun are often bare of snow.

Tendency

Avalanche danger will not change.
