In sintesi

Watch for changing conditions with mild temperatures and sun.

Reduce exposure to overhead hazard and stick to conservative terrain while the snowpack slowly settles.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    1.5–2.5

    Wind affected features likely remain reactive to human triggers.

  • Loose Wet

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Likely
    Dimensione
    1–2

    Loose wet avalanches are most likely on south facing slopes, where sunshine is combined with mild temperatures.

Confidence

Moderate

  • Uncertainty is due to the speed, direction, or duration of the wind and its effect on the snowpack.
  • Uncertainty is due to how quickly the snowpack will recover and gain strength.

Avalanche Summary

On Monday, a size 3 avalanche was observed, on a lee aspect feature that likely failed during the very warm temperatures. See picture below.

If you head out, please share any photos or observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

The snow surface is highly wind-affected in exposed alpine terrain. At treeline and below, the snow surfaces may be a crust or moist snow. The entire snowpack is saturated below 1600 m and with overnight cooling has likely begun to reconsolidate.

A layer of facets is buried around 50 to 100 cm deep and is slowly gaining strength.

The mid and lower snowpack have no layers of concern. Snowpack depths are generally around 150-200 cm deep at treeline.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Stay off recently wind loaded slopes until they have had a chance to stabilize.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation, aspect, and exposure to wind.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.
