Avalanche Activity

Heed risk of taking a fall in steep terrain

Avalanche danger is low. The main problem are snowdrifts. Isolated small-scale snowdrift accumulations are still triggerable on ridgeline slopes in N/E aspects as well as in freshly wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Avalanches tend to remain small-sized. The risks of taking a fall outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

Snowpack Structure

Most of the snow that fell in the last few days was transported; snow depths vary widely; ridges and crests are windblown. Fresh small-sized snowdrift accumulations that are prone to triggering were generated on leeward summit slopes. Isolated weak intermediate layers still persist in older snowdrift accumulations. There is still only very little snow.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly over the next few days.
