Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
The shallow snowpack is becoming weaker, meaning a higher likelihood of a person sinking deeper in the snow and striking hard, underlying objects (rocks, logs, alders).
Travel with caution, bring a headlamp, and have a plan to deal with emergencies within your group.

Snowpack Summary
The snowpack is thin, with an average depth of 30-40cm at 1300m, 60-100cm at treeline, and up to 120cm in the alpine in loaded areas. These values are below threshold for burying rocks, stumps, bridging crevasses, and covering creeks.
