Points saillants

Snowpack modelling suggests a dangerous weak layer exists at the base of the snowpack,

Wind slab avalanches may step down.

    Taille
    1–2.5

    Strong southerly winds and soft surface snow have created wind slabs. Avoid wind loaded features.

    Taille

    A dangerous weak layer is suspected in areas with less than 120 cm of snow on the ground. The weak layer can be found near the base of the snowpack.

Confidence

Low

  • Uncertainty is due to limitations in the field data.

Avalanche Summary

On Wednesday, a small natural wind slab occurred on a steep northeast aspect in the alpine.

No other avalanches have been reported recently, however, reports are very limited.

Snowpack Summary

15 cm of recent snow from earlier in the week fell with warm temperatures and strong southerly winds. This likely sits on a layer of small facets. Lower elevations may have a crust on the surface.

Areas with less than 120 cm of snow may have a concerning weak layer at the base of the snowpack.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be aware of the possibility for full depth avalanches due to deeply buried weak layers.
  • Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
  • If triggered, wind slabs avalanches may step down to deeper layers resulting in larger avalanches.
