Avoid zones below glide cracks.

Above 2000 m on shady slopes there is 10 cm of loose snow atop a crust capable of bearing loads. Beneath this and on sunny slopes at all altitudes the fresh snow from Wednesday is already moist and has formed a new crust. At intermediate altitudes the snowpack has become thoroughly moist repeated times and is very compact. Below 1400 m there is hardly any snow on the ground.
