In sintesi

Heightened avalanche conditions exist in specific terrain features where deeper pockets of snow sit over weak layers in the upper snowpack.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    1–1.5

    Wind slabs sit over a weak layer that could make them surprisingly reactive.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

There have been no recent reports of avalanches.

If you are heading into the backcountry, please share your observations with the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 10 cm of recent snow blankets a variable upper snowpack with a number of weak interfaces.

Depending on aspect and elevation, the top 20 to 30 cm may contain one or two crust/facet layers formed in late January and early February. These layers are expected to become increasingly problematic as they get buried deeper.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled, with no significant concerns.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Wind slabs are isolated, but may remain reactive.
  • Closely monitor how the new snow is bonding to the crust.
  • Keep in mind a buried crust offers an excellent bed surface for avalanches.
