Avalanche Activity

The fresh snow and the wind slabs are bonding poorly with the old snowpack.

The fresh snow and the wind slabs that are forming in all aspects are bonding poorly with the old snowpack. Precarious weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. Avalanches can penetrate deep layers and reach quite a large size. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches, including large ones.
