    • Alpin
    • Limite forestière
    • Sous la limite forestière
    Probabilité
    Possible - Likely

    If this layers if triggered, there is a likelihood of entraining the entire snowpack with it

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alpin
    • Limite forestière
    • Sous la limite forestière
    Probabilité
    Possible
    Taille

    The big concern is that if anything gets triggered within the snowpack, then the entire snowpack would fail on the basal facets.
