In sintesi

Today, large destructive avalanches were exceeding historical runouts. The Feb 14 layer is extremely touchy and in some cases avalanches are stepping down to the basal facets at ground level. Travel in the mountains requires EXTREME caution.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Likely - Very Likely
    Dimensione
    2–4
    Persistent slabs between 90 and 150cm deep are very touchy and skier/riders/climbers will almost certainly trigger these slides in terrain that has not previously avalanched.
  • Deep Persistent Slabs

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

    Persistent slabs and wind slabs, once triggered, are stepping down producing large and destructive avalanches. This layer has been dormant for much of the winter, but it is awake and quite grumpy now.
