Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

Isolated pockets of wind slab may exist on lee slopes at upper elevations.

Be careful with wind loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and roll-overs.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East.

Elevations: Alpine.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2

Cornices

Periods of intense solar radiation will increase the chance of these failing naturally.

Give cornices a wide berth when traveling on ridges.

Aspects: North, North East, East.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 2 - 3

Loose Wet

Use extra caution on solar slopes or if the snow is moist or wet.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East.

Elevations: All elevations.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2
